  "account": "The New England Patriots will be without their star wide receiver A.J. Brown for today's game against the Miami Dolphins. Head coach Mike Vrabel announced on Friday that Brown missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday due to a knee injury, and was then officially listed as out for Friday's match in Miami. Vrabel stated that the team has relied on players from the practice squad, as required. The absence of Brown, who has already missed four games this season after suffering a high ankle sprain during the season opener, is a significant concern for the Patriots. They are also without Mack Hollins and Romeo Doubs, both on injured reserve. With Brown out, the available receivers for the Patriots are Kyle Williams, DeMario Douglas, Efton Chism III, and practice squad wideout Ryan Miller, who was elevated for Sunday's game.",
