    Patriots' A.J. Brown: Believed to have high-ankle sprain

    A.J. Brown received a preliminary diagnosis of a right high-ankle sprain after exiting Wednesday's 13-10 loss to the Seahawks, Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network report.In his New England Patriots debut, Brown tallied three receptions for 26 yards on four targets before departing in the third quarter with the injury, which occurred when a Seahawks defender landed on his right ankle. Though X-rays on his ankle returned negative, Brown will be sent in for an MRI on Thursday before the Patriots establish a timeline for his return. High-ankle sprains typically result in multi-week absences, so if the MRI confirms the preliminary diagnosis, Brown would face an uphill battle to suit up in the Patriots' next game Sunday, Sept. 20 versus the Steelers.

    Patriots' A.J. Brown: Held out of preseason opener

    A.J. Brown was among the New England Patriots' key skill players who didn't see action in Thursday's preseason opener against the Colts, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.Also in that category were QB Drake Maye, fellow WRs Romeo Doubs and DeMario Douglas, RBs Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson, along with TE Hunter Henry. As the coming season approaches, Brown and Doubs are slated to be the team's top two WR options, while Douglas figures to work out of the slot in a wide-receiver corps that also includes Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins and Kyle Williams, who all saw action Thursday. In his new locale, Brown is on track to log steady volume as Maye's top target, positioning him for weekly fantasy utility in 2026.

    Patriots' A.J. Brown: Top target during joint practice

    A.J. Brown remained the New England Patriots' No. 1 option in the passing game during Tuesday's joint practice with the Colts, Ethan Hurwitz of SI.com reports.Brown started his day off by beating Colts cornerback Sauce Gardner in a 1-on-1 situation, and once full-squad reps began, the wide receiver was heavily targeted. The 29-year-old is entering his first season in Josh McDaniels' offense, working with emerging star Drake Maye at quarterback. Brown and Maye connected five times at practice Tuesday, including a 10-yard score on an in-breaking route where Brown split two defenders to reach paydirt. The wide receiver and the Eagles had grown tired of each other after a four-season marriage in Philadelphia from 2022-2025, and Brown will now provide the Patriots with a clear No. 1 option in their passing game after being traded June 1. He has recorded four straight 1,000-plus yard campaigns and has finished with seven or more receiving touchdowns in six of his seven NFL seasons leading into 2026.

    Patriots' A.J. Brown: Building connection with Maye

    After the connection between A.J. Brown and QB Drake Maye got off to a slow start in training camp, Paul Perillo of the New England Patriots' official site notes that "there have been some serious signs of life since the pads came on Thursday morning."With that in mind, Maye said Friday,"I feel the connectivity building now," adding "that's the biggest thing. You are just seeing it get better every day." As the two players' chemistry continues to grow while Brown acclimates to his new team's offense, the wideout is firmly on track to yield fantasy utility as New England's top option at his position alongside fellow newcomer Romeo Doubs, with Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins, DeMario Douglas, Kyle Williams and Efton Chism battling for targets that don't go to the aforementioned duo.

    Patriots' A.J. Brown: Clicks with Maye on Thursday

    During Thursday's padded practice, A.J. Brown and QB Drake Maye routinely connected throughout the session, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.Per Daniels, through the first four days of training camp, Maye went 4-for-9 with an interception when targeting Brown. On Thursday, the duo connected four times on five targets, including a TD on the quarterback's final throw of the practice. In any case, as Brown gains reps with his new offense, his chemistry with Maye should continue to solidify, and as the coming season approaches, steady volume should be the norm for him while operating as the clear-cut top option in a WR corps that also includes Romeo Doubs, Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins, DeMario Douglas, Kyle Williams and Efton Chism.
