On Sunday, the New England Patriots welcomed back receiver A. J. Brown but lost top target Romeo Doubs to a shoulder injury in their 26-19 win over the New York Jets.
Doubs dove to catch a 42-yard touchdown from Drake Maye, reaching a top speed of 21.44 mph before landing hard. The Patriots signed Doubs to a four-year, $68 million deal in March. In addition to Doubs, starting left guard Alijah Vera-Tucker injured his hamstring in the second quarter, while right tackle Morgan Moses left with an ankle injury.
Guard/center Ben Brown was also ruled out with a knee injury in the fourth quarter. Coach Mike Vrabel expressed uncertainty about availability for the Thursday game against the Chicago Bears, calling it a short week. The Patriots improve to 4-2 on the season.
