The New England Patriots will be short-handed against the Green Bay Packers this Sunday. It is no surprise that running back TreVeyon Henderson has been ruled out given his current health situation. However, they will also be without top wide receiver A.J. Brown due to ankle and knee injuries.

Brown was placed on injured reserve earlier in the season with a high-ankle sprain. Now he will miss his second consecutive game. He has played only three games, recording nine receptions for 101 yards. Brown has yet to score a touchdown, and his catch percentage is just 45 percent.
New England gave up a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth-rounder in order to acquire
Brown back on June 1. So far, this trade is not working out well for the Patriots. However, they are still 5-3 and are currently two games behind in the AFC East playoff race. They are currently the No. 7 seed in the playoff picture and need a win over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday to stay there.
