AJ Brown going on IR with high ankle sprain
Patriots wide receiver AJ Brown is headed to injured reserve with a high ankle sprain, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The move sidelines him for at least four games.
An MRI confirmed the high ankle sprain, per Ian Rapoport, who also reported Brown is expected to miss at least four weeks.
What this means for your roster
Four games is the floor. High ankle sprains can linger, so the actual absence could run longer. Brown needs to come off your active roster now. In deeper leagues, he may be worth stashing on IR if your league rules allow it, but do not hold him on an active spot waiting for a return timeline that has not been given.
