A.J. Brown Injured, Latest Updates on Patriots WR's Status and Recovery Timeline

New England Patriots star receiver A.J. Brown picked up another injury in Sunday's NFL Munich Game against the Detroit Lions.

Brown was seen heading to the locker room in the fourth quarter, and the Patriots later announced that he is out for the remainder of the game due to a hamstring injury. He was initially deemed questionable to return.

Brown caught two of his six targets for 27 yards before exiting the game. He had a stint on injured reserve earlier this year after suffering a sprained ankle in Week 1, and he missed more time after picking up a knee injury before returning for Sunday's matchup against the Lions.

This new injury continues a year of disappointment for Brown after he forced his way off the Philadelphia Eagles over the offseason. In his three appearances before Sunday's game, he produced just nine catches for 101 yards and no touchdowns, a far cry from what the Patriots expected when they gave up a 2027 fifth-round pick and a 2028 first-round pick to acquire him.

In addition to Brown's injury on Sunday, the Patriots also lost starting quarterback Drake Maye to an ankle injury in the first quarter. He was seen limping back to the locker room, leaving backup Tommy DeVito to take over.

The Patriots were hoping to contend for a second straight trip to the Super Bowl, but their chances are looking slim as the injuries start to pile up. The team will be hoping that Brown and Maye won't have to miss too much time as they try to remain in the hunt for the postseason.
