5 Patriots Most Likely to Be Inactive vs. Commanders in Week 9
By Tyler Maher
3. Trent Brown
Trent Brown apparently picked up an injury in Week 8, as he was spotted limping out of the locker room after Sunday's contest.
The veteran offensive lineman now appears to be in jeopardy of missing this week's matchup after appearing on Wednesday's injury report with an ankle/knee injury.
Lower body injuries are always tricky for NFL players to manage, especially linemen given their massive size. At 6'8 and 370 pounds, the 30-year-old Brown needs a solid base under him to do his job.
Brown was expected to be a limited participant at Wednesday's practice but ended up not practicing at all, which indicates his injury is more serious than expected. He still has a few more days to try to work his way back, but right now he seems to be trending in the wrong direction.
