Vrabel addresses A.J. Brown's health status

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel dismissed online speculation about A.J. Brown's knee, stating the team is confident in his physical condition.

Vrabel said Brown has done everything asked in training camp but will get rest days as determined by the coaching staff.

Neither Brown, the Patriots, nor any credible medical source has confirmed claims of a lingering knee issue.

Patriots executive vice president Eliot Wolf acknowledged Brown has some wear and tear in one knee, but the medical staff cleared the trade.

Brown himself stated in a June press conference that his knees are healthy.
