Coach Mike Vrabel said Monday that Brown (knee) likely won't play in Sunday's game versus the Lions, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Brown injured his knee during the first half of New England's loss versus the Packers in Week 9, and it appears he's trending towards being sidelined in Week 10. Should that be the case, 2024 sixth-rounder Walter Rouse projects to start at left guard Sunday.
