Brown hobbles off with ankle injury, later ruled out in Patriots debut
Confirmed
In Short: Sam Darnold and Ben Brown are out for the Patriots in their season opener against the Seahawks.
Sam Darnold, the Seahawks' quarterback, went to the locker room after suffering a hip injury on the team's first drive of the season.
Darnold's injury, which occurred after he was sacked by Patriots edge-rusher Dre'Mont Jones, is described as a hip injury, though concerns about a potential fracture or labrum injury remain.
Ben Brown, the Patriots' center, is also ruled out for the game due to an ankle injury, leaving the team without two key players for their season opener.
The Patriots will face the Seattle Seahawks in a Super Bowl rematch, with the absence of Darnold and Brown impacting their offensive lineup.
Darnold, 29, was excellent in his debut season with the Seahawks, throwing for 4,048 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions.
Henderson, the Patriots' running back, is also out for the season opener after missing all three practices with an ankle injury, further weakening the team's backfield.
