Mike Vrabel on A.J. Brown: We'll see how he progresses during the week

Patriots' A.J. Brown missed the Week 8 game against the Dolphins due to a knee injury. It remains uncertain if Brown will play in Week 9. "We’ll see how he progresses during the week," stated Patriots linebacker Mike Vrabel on Monday. Vrabel added, "We’ll see Wednesday what those guys that were unavailable for the game, and what they look like and whatever came up during the game."

This is Brown's first season with the Patriots, and he has only played three games, catching nine passes for 101 yards in total. Brown had previously missed time with a high-ankle sprain.

Vrabel also did not provide details about the status of tight end Hunter Henry, who is dealing with a foot injury. However, he mentioned that Mack Hollins and Reggie Gilliam could "potentially" resume practice, as both players are currently on injured reserve. The Patriots are set to face the Packers in Week 9.
