“He Is Made of Glass,” “Eagles Fleeced Patriots”: NFL Fans React As “Washed” A.J. Brown Gets Added to Injury Report With New Concerning Issue
There were high expectations for A. J.
The New England Patriots faced a setback as their wide receiver A.J. Brown received another concerning injury report update. Brown, who has missed four games this season due to injuries, missed Thursday's practice session with the team. Fans on social media expressed their disappointment, with some calling him "made of glass" and stating that the Philadelphia Eagles "fleeced" the Patriots by trading for him.
A.J. Brown suffered a high ankle sprain in the team's season-opening loss to the Seattle Seahawks and has since played in only three games, catching nine passes for 101 yards with no touchdowns. Patriots WR coach Todd Downing expressed his faith in Brown, stating that he remains hopeful for the wide receiver's performance improvement. The Patriots will face the Miami Dolphins on Sunday at 4:25 PM ET.
