New England Patriots fans will find out how tough their team really is on Sunday, as Drake Maye and company battle a formidable Green Bay Packers squad without star wide receiver A.J. Brown. The Super Bowl 59 champion is still battling a knee injury and will miss another game, per The 33rd Team's Ari Meirov.

Considering Brown did not practice all week, head coach Mike Vrabel and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels were prepared for this unsettling news. The Pats' biggest offseason acquisition will now be inactive for six of their first nine games this season.
