New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel revealed wide receiver A.J. Brown, defensive tackle Christian Barmore and running back TreVeyon Henderson would not practice on Wednesday, according to Patriots Wire's Sophie Weller.
Brown has been dealing with the high ankle sprain he suffered in the Week 1 game against the Seattle Seahawks, along with a recent flare-up of an ongoing knee injury. He missed multiple practices and Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins last week.
When asked if Brown might go back on injured reserve, Vrabel refused to speculate on anything.
"Again, I can just speak on today and where he's at today and what we feel like he can do today. So that's why I said he wouldn't be out there today," said Vrabel.
Is putting A.J. Brown

Injuries have plagued the Patriots throughout the season.
It's an even bigger issue this week with the team slated to face a talented Green Bay Packers team. Patriots quarterback Drake Maye might once again be down multiple offensive weapons while trying to keep pace with the Packers' explosive offense.
And defensively, if Barmore is unable to go, the unit would be down a major defender along a banged-up defensive front.
