Adam Schefter makes admission on Patriots WR A.J. Brown's knee injury

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on the injury situation of New England Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown. Brown has been dealing with both an ankle and knee injury, missing several practices and the game against the Miami Dolphins. The knee issue, Schefter stated, was the primary reason Brown sat out last week's game and remains a concern for his potential contribution to the team.

Schefter made this admission during an appearance on ESPN's Get Up program. The knee injury has raised doubts about Brown's ability to continue playing at a high level for New England, and he might face questions about his long-term future with the team. Despite the injury concerns, Brown has only made three appearances this season, catching for 101 yards without scoring a touchdown.

Other teams, like the Los Angeles Rams, had shown interest in Brown prior to his acquisition by the Patriots, but his knee issues likely deterred some potential suitors. The Patriots took a risk in acquiring Brown with the hope of bolstering their receiver corps alongside rookie quarterback Drake Maye.
