Will AJ Brown Play in Germany? Injury Update for Patriots Star
15 Nov
Summary
- AJ Brown's season has been plagued by a high ankle sprain and other injuries.
- He has traveled with the team to Germany for the Lions game.
- Brown has degenerative knee issues that raise long-term playing concerns.
New England Patriots wide receiver AJ Brown has had a difficult start to his season, limited to just three games due to a high ankle sprain in Week 1 and subsequent knee injuries. He made his return in Week 6 but has since missed two more games. His availability for Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions in Munich, Germany, is uncertain.
Brown's presence on the flight to Germany suggests a potential return, with reports indicating he has a good chance to play. However, an official active or inactive designation will not be made until Sunday morning, 90 minutes before the 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff. Concerns linger regarding Brown's long-term health, specifically a degenerative knee issue that has reportedly raised hesitation among other teams regarding his trade value.
This season, Brown has recorded 9 catches for 101 yards without a touchdown, a stark contrast to his usual productive career. The Patriots, currently 5-4, will have a bye week after their matchup with the Lions.
