The New England Patriots will be without a pair of offensive weapons for Sunday's divisional clash against the Miami Dolphins.

Wide receiver A.J. Brown is sidelined with ankle and knee injuries, while running back TreVeon Henderson is unavailable due to illness, the team announced.

Brown has only made three appearances this season, logging nine receptions for 101 yards. The Patriots acquired the star wideout from the Philadelphia Eagles in June for first- and fifth-round picks.

Henderson has struggled in 2026 after breaking out with nine rushing touchdowns and 911 yards last season. In six games in 2026, the 24-year-old has produced a single score along with 203 yards on 52 carries.

The Patriots are second in the AFC East at 4-3, while the Dolphins occupy last place at 1-5.
