New England Patriots WR A.J. Brown (ankle) was spotted in a walking boot following their Week 1 loss to the Seattle Seahawks Wednesday, Sept. 9, according to the Boston Herald's Andrew Callahan. WR Romeo Doubs said Brown told them that everything was all right, but he admitted the team would need a plan without Brown
Why it Matters: The good news is Brown has two extra days to recover before their Week 2 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers Sept. 20. It just may not be enough. A lot will depend on which part of the ankle was injured as a high-ankle sprain could cost him four to six weeks. Mack Hollins had four catches for 51 yards in the game. He'll be the first beneficiary if Brown misses time. He'll be a depth WR5 with more value in deeper
PPR formats.
