Story summary

The Patriots activated star receiver A.J. Brown from injured reserve ahead of their game against the Jets on Sunday, October 18, 2026. Brown had missed four games due to a high ankle sprain sustained in the season opener against the Seattle Seahawks. Despite his return, Brown struggled during the match, dropping three passes and catching only three out of ten targets for 27 yards. The Patriots ultimately won the game with a score of 26-19, but Brown acknowledged his performance was subpar, citing issues with timing rather than his ankle injury.
