Patriots | A.J. Brown expected to miss six weeks Sun Sep 13, 03:05 PM
Ian Rapoport reports that Patriots WR AJ Brown is expected to miss six weeks with his high ankle sprain.
| Footballguys view: Since Brown is on injured reserve, he was going to miss four weeks regardless, but this reset expectations to allow for more time before we should expect him to return. Mack Hollins and Hunter Henry become potential waiver adds with Brown out going into a matchup against the Steelers. |

Patriots | A.J. Brown being placed on IR; out for at least 4 weeks Fri Sep 11, 02:01 PM
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Patriots are placing wide receiver A.J. Brown on injured reserve due to his high ankle sprain, sidelining him for a minimum of four games.
| Footballguys view: This will keep him out for at least the next four weeks. He'll have a chance to return in Week 6, although there is already some speculation that he could miss more than the minimum of four games that an IR designation requires. Brown looked sharp in his Patriots debut, being an underthrown Drake Maye throw away from what could have been a big touchdown. High-ankle sprains are notorious for lingering and zapping players' explosion. When he returns, he may need a ramp-up period. This injury pushes Brown from the WR1 he was drafted to be into the rest-of-season WR3 range. |

Report: A.J. Brown could miss 3-6 weeks; could land on short-term IR Thu Sep 10, 08:46 PM
Sources tell NFL insider Jordan Schultz that the internal belief with the Patriots is that star WR A.J. Brown could miss 3-6 weeks with his ankle injury. There are discussions about whether a short-term IR stint will be required.
| Footballguys view: NFL Network's Ian Rapoport is reporting a four-week timetable, so it's reasonable to believe a lengthy absence is coming. Proactive Brown owners should consider making a move on New England second-year man Kyle Williams as a possible X-factor here. Williams has the speed and talent to rise with more opportunities. DeMario Douglas should also be rostered if he's not already. Romeo Doubs, Mack Hollins, and Hunter Henry are all candidates for a bump in targets any given week, but none of them are going to deliver Brown-level production. |

Patriots | A.J. Brown believed to have a high-ankle sprain; MRI coming Thu Sep 10, 11:43 AM
New England Patriots HC Mike Vrabel had no update to offer on the ankle injury A.J. Brown suffered against the Seattle Seahawks in his postgame press conference. Still, a report from NFL Media on Thursday says that the initial belief is that Brown suffered a high-ankle sprain.
| Footballguys view: Brown is set for an MRI on Thursday to determine the extent of the damage and create a sense of when he might be able to return to action. There's no timetable at this time, but the Patriots' passing attack sure did struggle in the season opener. |

Patriots | A.J. Brown leaves locker room in boot after injuring ankle Thu Sep 10, 01:26 AM
Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown left Wednesday night's 13-10 loss to the Seahawks early in the third quarter with a right ankle injury and did not return.
| Footballguys view: Brown, in his Patriots debut, remained down following a third-down incomplete pass in which quarterback Drake Maye was throwing in his direction with Seahawks cornerback Nehemiah Pritchett in tight coverage. Pritchett's right knee appeared to land on Brown's ankle with the force of his body weight. Brown grabbed for the back of his right leg as he sat up. According to Boston Herald staffer Andrew Callahan, Brown walked out of the Patriots locker room wearing a boot on his right foot after the game. Expect more testing when the Patriots get home. |

Patriots | RB TreVeyon Henderson ruled out for Week 1 Tue Sep 8, 04:57 PM
The Patriots ruled out RB TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) and C Ben Brown (knee) after sitting out all three practices.
| Footballguys view: The Patriots could use a practice-squad elevation on RB Lan Larison or Hassan Haskins (practice squad elevations will be announced Wednesday). Meanwhile, Rhamondre Stevenson, who assumed a lead-back role down the stretch and for the Patriots' playoff run, will continue in that role. It's a tough matchup, but Stevenson should get enough volume to support RB2-level production. |

Christian Gonzalez gets the extension he wanted Tue Sep 8, 01:04 AM
As first reported by NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the Patriots and All-Pro CB Christian Gonzalez have agreed to a four-year, $135 million contract extension with $102 million guaranteed.
| Footballguys view: The Patriots' first-round draft pick in 2023, Gonzalez has been one of the NFL's top cornerbacks since entering the league. As a result, the 24-year-old was looking to become the league's highest-paid player at his position. Mission accomplished. The deal makes Gonzalez, who earned Pro Bowl honors last season, the highest-paid cornerback in NFL history. |
Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson unlikely to play, but making the trip to Seattle Mon Sep 7, 04:32 PM
The Patriots injury report shows interior OL Ben Brown (knee) downgraded to out because he didn't travel, but TreVeyon Henderson did travel, though he was a non-participant.
| Footballguys view: Although he's making the trip, Henderson hasn't practiced since Aug. 24. Henderson is not expected to play. Still, we'll continue to monitor his status and remind you that Rhamondre Stevenson is all but certain to handle the bulk of the workload in Seattle. |

Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson sitting out again Monday Mon Sep 7, 02:11 PM
No TreVeyon Henderson or Ben Brown at Patriots practice Monday. They missed every practice leading up to this Week 1 matchup.
| Footballguys view: Things have taken a definite turn for Henderson, who hasn't practiced since he injured his ankle on Aug. 24. Fantasy investors should be planning on him being absent in Seattle on Wednesday night, with Rhamondre Stevenson handling the bulk of the workload. Worth noting: Boston Herald staffer Andrew Callahan believes the Patriots will use an up-tempo offense and that Stevenson's skills as both a runner and in pass protection will be vital. |

Patriots | Vrabel: TreVeyon Henderson working hard to return Mon Sep 7, 11:32 AM
Mike Vrabel asked about TreVeyon Henderson's status for Wednesday's game in Seattle: "We'll see how he feels today. We'll see if he can do anything. He's working extremely hard to come back."
| Footballguys view: Henderson hasn't practiced since sustaining an ankle injury on Aug. 24. As a result, fantasy GMs have been preparing for more Rhamondre Stevenson to begin the regular season. ESPN's Mike Reiss expects the team to call up Hassan Haskins or Lan Larison from the practice squad to help Corey Kiner (who they just acquired from the Cardinals for a seventh-round pick) back up Stevenson this week. While he faces a tough matchup in Seattle, Stevenson is a viable starting option for your team, assuming Henderson is indeed sidelined. |

Rhamondre Stevenson 'clear-cut starter', Henderson misses practice again Sun Sep 6, 04:43 PM
Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson missed practice again on Sunday, September 6. Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports that New England RB Rhamondre Stevenson "would have been the clear-cut starter" even if TreVeyon Henderson's status for Wednesday's season opener was not in doubt.
| Footballguys view: Reiss is one of the most trusted beat writers, so we believe him. He cited the 46-25 snap split from the season opener last year when making the above statement. Reiss expects the team to call up Hassan Haskins or Lan Larison from the practice squad to help Corey Kiner (who they just acquired from the Cardinals for a seventh-round pick) back up Stevenson vs. the Seahawks. You might not have drafted Stevenson to be a starter for your fantasy team considering how late he was falling (rounds past Henderson) in early drafts, but he should be in lineups nonetheless. |

Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson's Week 1 status uncertain Sat Sep 5, 04:24 PM
RB TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) is not present for the media-access portion of Saturday's practice. He hasn't practiced since sustaining the injury on Aug. 24. The Patriots will submit their first injury report of the season later Saturday.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs have been preparing for more Rhamondre Stevenson to begin the regular season if Henderson can't go. The Patriots play on Wednesday night against the Seahawks in the season opener, and without practicing on Saturday it doesn't look good for Henderson. He hasn't practiced with the team since suffering the ankle injury late in August. |

Patriots | RB TreVeyon Henderson continues to miss practice Thu Sep 3, 04:39 PM
Per multiple reports from Patriots practice on Thursday, running back TreVeyon Henderson remained off the field. Henderson has not practiced since hurting his ankle during practice on August 24.
| Footballguys view: With only three practices remaining before their Week 1 opener against the Seahawks, Henderson is trending in the wrong direction. Even though reporters have suggested that Henderson will be ready for Week 1, we need to see his practice status next week before sharing that same confidence. Rhamondre Stevenson could be in for a big workload next Wednesday night. |

Link to story Patriots | Corey Kiner joining New England Sat Aug 29, 01:22 PM
Arizona Cardinals RB Corey Kiner was acquired by the New England Patriots Saturday, Aug. 29, in exchange for a 2028 seventh-round draft choice.
| Footballguys view: Kiner joins the Patriots as the no.3 back behind TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson. Undrafted out of Cincinnati in 2025, Kiner is a compact runner who thrives between the tackles because of his contact balance. He may not be a three-down player (receiving ability and pass protection are a work in progress), but in super deep dynasty leagues, we'll continue to monitor his pro career. |

New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) is expected to be ready for Week 1 despite suffering an ankle injury earlier this week, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Rhamondre Stevenson should be going well ahead of Henderson, who hasn't moved up from the place he ended the season at on the depth chart. This injury scare isn't a big reason why, but it is a reminder. |

New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) was scheduled to undergo some tests on the ankle injury he suffered during practice Monday, Aug. 25, according to a source. He did not have any issues walking after the injury.
| Footballguys view: Henderson slipped on the field making a cut in practice and removed himself from the drill. We'll see if these tests reveal anything serious about Henderson's ankle injury. Rhamondre Stevenson and Henderson are set to be in a 50/50 RBBC this season. |

Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson having precautionary testing on ankle Tue Aug 25, 02:55 PM
Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson slipped on the turf at practice on Monday, and he's getting checked out by doctors on Tuesday. Christopher Price of the Boston Globe reports that Henderson is having "precautionary tests" done after hurting his ankle.
| Footballguys view: Price adds that Henderson is walking and moving fine, so the hope is that the tests won't show anything that creates further concern. Patriots executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf confirmed that Henderson is being checked out and said that he will not practice on Tuesday. The Patriots wrap up their preseason on Thursday night against the Browns, and Henderson was not expected to play in that game prior to the ankle issue, so there probably won't be any change in the team's plans to get Henderson ready to go for Week 1. |

The second-year running back appeared to have his right ankle/foot area examined by trainers after slipping on the field during practice. Henderson exited practice early after his initial sideline evaluation and went back to the team facility. We'll be watching for more. |

New England Patriots CB Christian Gonzalez (undisclosed) is participating in practice Monday, Aug. 24.
| Footballguys view: The Patriots have cited an undisclosed injury as the reason for Gonzalez's absence from practice rather than a contract hold-in. But Monday's change in participation is a good omen for Gonzalez being ready for opening night against the Seahawks, and a new deal would make him even closer to being a sure thing. |
