A.J. Brown leaving Seahawks game with ankle injury
Brown went into the blue medical tent.
New England Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown suffered a right ankle injury during the team's season opener against the Seattle Seahawks on September 9, 2026. Brown was on the field for the Patriots opening drive of the second half when he was flagged for a low pass on a slant route. The pass was broken up when a Seahawks defender seemingly landed on Brown's ankle in the process.
After receiving medical attention on the field, Brown slowly walked off the field with trainers. Brown stayed on the sideline and entered the medical tent, eventually departing to the locker room. Despite the injury, Brown had a promising start to his Patriots debut, recording three catches for 26 yards in the first half. His most significant contribution was a defensive pass interference call near the goal line, which led to the Patriots' first touchdown of the game. Current status of Brown's availability for the upcoming game remains questionable.
