A.J. Brown Apologizes to Teammate After Injury Incident

A.J. Brown issued an apology to teammate Romeo Doubs after a post-touchdown incident during the New England Patriots' Week 6 win against the Jets. Doubs sustained a shoulder injury that led to his placement on injured reserve.

Doubs caught a 42-yard touchdown pass from Drake Maye in the first quarter but fell hard after the play. Brown, returning from his own injury, attempted to lift Doubs for a celebration without realizing he was hurt. He later acknowledged his mistake after noticing Doubs' discomfort.

The incident was captured on video, showing both Brown and DeMario Douglas trying to assist Doubs while he remained on the ground. Doubs, who signed a four-year, $68 million contract in free agency, has been a key player for the Patriots, leading the team in receiving yards. He will miss at least four weeks due to the injury, although reports suggest it may not be a long-term issue. The Patriots are preparing for their upcoming game against the Bears, with the health of their receiving corps being a significant concern.
