New England Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown suffered an apparent injury in his team debut against the Seattle Seahawks .
The Patriots' marquee offseason acquisition was injured after trying to make a catch in the second half of New England's Week 1 game. Brown was rolled up by the Seattle defender as he went to the ground and remained down on the field after the play.
Brown received medical attention on the field before walking toward the sideline under his own power. He later went to the blue medical tent before walking to the locker room wearing just one cleat.
The Patriots officially ruled Brown out for the remainder of Wednesday's 13-10 loss because of an ankle injury.
Brown recorded three catches for 26 yards before exiting the game. He also drew a key, 34-yard pass interference penalty that set up New England's lone touchdown.
Patriots coach Mike Vrabel said after the game that he had no update on Brown's status. Wide receiver Romeo Doubs said Brown, who left the locker room with a boot on his right foot, told teammates "that everything was going to be all right," according to Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald .
Brown appeared to get his right ankle stuck in the ground while sliding in an effort to make a catch on a slant pass. Below is a look at the injury.
Brown suffered the ankle injury with 13:30 remaining in the third quarter, with the Patriots leading 7-0.
The Patriots have five wide receivers active for Wednesday's game. Here's the pecking order within the unit.
Doubs will step into the Patriots' No. 1 receiver role with Brown out for the remainder of the Patriots' season opener. Meanwhile, Hollins, a 10-year veteran, will likely see the largest increase in snaps.
The Patriots could also opt to use multiple tight end sets more frequently. Hunter Henry and Eli Raridon would be in line for additional snaps if that ends up being the case.
