Brown suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Patriots' Week 1 loss to the Seattle Seahawks that kept him out until New England played the New York Jets in Week 6. On Friday, Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said the knee injury Brown is dealing with this week is separate from the high-ankle sprain injury he suffered against Seattle. He wasn't able to finish practice on Wednesday.
"Just like everything else, when you come out of the game or a long week or practice on Monday, you evaluate the player," Vrabel said, via the Patriots' website. "He just wasn't able to practice or finish practice on Wednesday. So, we'll continue to treat him, and then we'll see where he is tomorrow."
Brown has nine receptions for 101 yards this season. New England traded a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick to the Philadelphia Eagles for Brown in the offseason. Henderson has 203 yards rushing and one touchdown on 52 carries.
The Patriots are 4-3 coming off a 30-24 loss to the Chicago Bears on "Thursday Night Football" in Week 7. Henderson had just nine yards on three carries against Chicago. Brown caught three passes for 88 yards.
The Dolphins earned their first win of the season in Week 7 against the New York Jets.
