Patriots fans will feel a noticeable drop in offensive firepower now that the team has placed wide receiver A.J. Brown on injured reserve.
NBC Sports Boston quoted safety coach Perry describing the high ankle sprain as a major concern for New England’s passing game, and Yahoo Sports framed the IR placement as a worst‑case scenario for the Patriots. PhillyVoice confirmed the official IR designation.
With Brown unavailable, the next development will be which receiver steps into his role and whether the team can sustain its aerial attack without its primary deep threat.
