New England Patriots in injury scare with AJ Brown facing ‘degenerative’ issue in knee – could miss multiple weeks

New England Patriots wide receiver AJ Brown is facing a potential multi-week absence after missing practice with an ongoing degenerative knee issue. Head coach Mike Vrabel listed the star receiver as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Brown missed practice sessions on Thursday and Friday as the knee problem resurfaced alongside a lingering high ankle sprain.

Brown had already missed four games earlier this season due to the ankle injury suffered in the opening game. According to Yahoo Sports, the Patriots were fully aware of Brown's degenerative knee condition before sending a first-round pick to Philadelphia in June, with team medical staff having approved the trade.
