From the article

Brown remained on the ground after an incomplete third-down attempt, with medical personnel and even head coach Mike Vrabel checking in on him on the field. He limped off the field into the medical tent, and later gingerly walked back to the locker room albeit under his own power. Follow-up evaluation done on Thursday found out that he had suffered a high-ankle sprain.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

A.J. Brown sidelined 4-6 weeks with high-ankle sprain; STIR likely.

Brown suffered a high-ankle sprain during the Patriots' Week 1 loss to Seattle, remaining on the ground after an incomplete third-down attempt before limping off the field. Follow-up evaluation on Thursday confirmed the diagnosis. Expected recovery range for this type of sprain is four to six weeks, making short-term injured reserve (minimum four weeks) a realistic possibility. This is a significant blow to an offense that struggled to generate consistent plays even with Brown on the field for his 31-snap Patriots debut.
