NFL A. J. Brown Philadelphia Eagles New England Patriots injury update

Wide receiver A. J. Brown is expected to miss at least one month due to a high-ankle sprain sustained during the season opener. His absence has forced both the New England Patriots and the Philadelphia Eagles to adjust their offensive strategies.

In their first game without Brown, the Patriots secured a 20-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers by distributing targets across the roster. Nine different players recorded receptions, including Romeo Doubs, Hunter Henry, and Rhamondre Stevenson.

The Eagles managed a 24-20 comeback win against the Tennessee Titans despite Brown's absence. DeVonta Smith led the effort with 10 catches for 117 yards and a touchdown, while Tay Wicks contributed five receptions for 74 yards, including key plays during the game-winning drive.
