New England Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown has been added to the team's injury report with a new concerning issue, prompting strong reactions from NFL fans on social media. The news emerged during the Patriots' organized team activities (OTAs) at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
Brown, who joined the Patriots in a trade from the Philadelphia Eagles, spoke at a press conference after practice on June 2, 2026. Fans quickly took to platforms to express frustration, with some labeling the receiver "made of glass" and others suggesting the Eagles "fleeced" New England in the trade. The term "washed" was also used by critics questioning Brown's durability.
The specific nature of the new injury has not been disclosed. Brown's availability for the upcoming season remains uncertain as the Patriots continue their offseason program.
