New England Patriots offensive tackle Trent Brown hasn’t looked like himself on the football field in recent weeks.

The team has reported that he’s been playing through an illness, but on Wednesday, the veteran offensive lineman revealed the extent of what he’s been dealing with on and off the field.

He’s been fighting through the flu over the last three weeks, and throughout the illness, he has lost at least 12 pounds. So you can imagine the physical toll something like that probably took on him, particularly when he was still on the field trying to help the team compete.
