Availability and practice
A.J. Brown was listed out for Week 9 and was inactive for New England’s game against the Green Bay Packers at Gillette Stadium. Brown’s injury listing included ankle and knee issues. His game report specified an ankle injury, as did his Nov. 6 practice entry, when he did not participate.
Depth-chart and fantasy impact
Brown holds the No. 1 spot at wide receiver on the Patriots’ depth chart. His inactive status took him out of New England’s receiving options against Green Bay and ruled him out as a Week 9 fantasy option.
