A.J. Brown injury update confirms return timeline for Patriots wide receiver

We now know how long New England Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown will be out with his ankle injury.

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Brown's high-ankle sprain has been confirmed after tests and he will miss four weeks.

With a four-week timeline, this will likely lead to his placement on injured reserve, although it's certainly possible the Pats hold off in the hope he can return sooner.

Brown suffered the injury in the third quarter of the Week 1 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Wednesday night.
