A.J. Brown injury update adds to hope Patriots WR can return when eligible
The latest injury update on A.J. Brown gives more hope he could return in Week 6.
New England Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown is recovering from a high-ankle sprain he suffered in Week 1 and is currently on injured reserve. Initially, there were doubts he would return within six weeks, as reports suggested he could miss between six and eight weeks. However, recent updates provide hope that Brown could return in Week 6 when the Patriots face the New York Jets.
Patriots WR A.J. Brown was spotted in the locker room on Wednesday without a noticeable limp, according to Doug Kyed of The Boston Herald. Mike Garafolo of NFL Network also reported that the Patriots are optimistic Brown can return as early as Week 6. Currently, Mack Hollins and Romeo Doubs are the leading receivers for the Patriots, but Hollins has now sustained a calf injury, casting uncertainty on his Week 5 participation.
