Why it matters
Player health updates are essential for sports fans and fantasy football participants tracking team rosters and competitive outcomes.
While a report indicated Patriots receiver A.J. Brown suffered a high ankle sprain, head coach Mike Vrabel declined to confirm that in his Thursday press conference.
Vrabel noted that Brown’s upcoming availability is in question after he suffered an ankle injury during Wednesday night’s loss to the Seahawks. But beyond that, the club is still evaluating the receiver.
“We’re running more tests, but we’ll update you here next week,” Vrabel said. “Wasn’t able to finish the game, and we’ll continue to evaluate, continue to run tests. But I don’t know if he’ll be available going forward here for the next week, but we’ll see.
“I know he’ll do everything that he can to get back as quickly as possible. And once we get the report, then we’ll figure out what the treatment plan is.”
