A.J. Brown Won't Require Ankle Surgery

Sunday, September 13, 8:45 AM

New England Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown (ankle) is expected to miss the next four to six weeks, but he won't require surgery on his ankle, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. Brown suffered the injury during Wednesday's season opener against the Seattle Seahawks. He was diagnosed with a high ankle sprain, and the current timeline for recovery suggests that he may end up on injured reserve. However, it's encouraging that he won't need surgery. New England only got three catches for 26 yards from its flashy offseason addition before he exited Week 1. Once he returns to action, he'll rank as a low-end WR1 in fantasy football while serving as quarterback Drake Maye's favorite target. In the meantime, Romeo Doubs, Kyle Williams, and DeMario Douglas will take on bigger roles in the passing game.

Ladd McConkey Questionable with Chest Injury

Sunday, September 13, 2:59 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (chest) is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 1 contest against the Arizona Cardinals. McConkey initially exited near the end of the third quarter after failing to haul in a pass from Justin Herbert over the middle of the field. He was down on the field in pain, and medical personnel quickly took him to the locker room for evaluation. At the time of his departure, McConkey had caught five of seven targets for 82 yards and a touchdown. It was an impressive showing, but not quite enough to give the Chargers a lead. Los Angeles is surely hopeful that McConkey will be able to return to the contest in the fourth quarter as they try to mount a late comeback. In the meantime, Quentin Johnston and Tre' Harris will step up as the Chargers' top wide receivers.
