Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown returns from a right high ankle sprain and has a difficult outing in New England’s Week 6 win over the Jets. ESPN reports Brown drops a career-high three passes during the game, despite the team securing the win.
Both outlets describe Brown as looking rusty after missing time. ESPN notes Brown was sidelined for four weeks, and that he acknowledges the quality of his performance, saying he is better than what he displayed. Yahoo Sports similarly frames the issue as a struggle with drops, attributing the errors to him being out several weeks because of injury. The accounts agree on the core points: Brown’s recent injury absence, his return in the Jets game, and that he has trouble handling passes by dropping three in that matchup.
