A.J. Brown - Page 3 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Expected to return for Week 6 Brown will likely be activated from injured reserve to play Sunday against the Jets, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Brown logged a trio of limited practices during Week 6 prep, but it appears the veteran wide receiver has progressed enough in his recovery from a right-ankle sprain to be activated from injured reserve. Assuming he's activated from IR, Brown will slot right back into the WR1 spot and provide a significant boost in the passing game and lead the Patriots' wide receiver group that also consists of Romeo Doubs, DeMario Douglas and Efton Chism.

Impact Since the Patriots designated Brown for return from injured reserve Wednesday, he logged back-to-back limited sessions to begin Week 6 prep, but the team won't make a decision to activate him until it's absolutely required to do so (by 4:00 p.m. ET on Saturday). If he's given the green light to play for the first time since Week 1, when he sustained a right high-ankle sprain, he'll rejoin a New England receiving corps currently populated by Romeo Doubs, DeMario Douglas, Efton Chism and Kyle Williams.

Practices again Friday Brown (ankle) practiced all three days this week, Mark Daniels of MassLive reports.

Impact After opening his 21-day return window Wednesday and logging limited work Thursday, Brown now appears to have made it through a full week of practice activity. The Patriots will need to activate him from injured reserve Friday or Saturday if he's going to play against the Jets on Sunday. It's not yet clear if that will happen, but continued practice participation is at least a strong sign that Brown should be ready for Week 7 if not Week 6.

Remains limited Thursday Brown (ankle) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Mark Daniels of MassLive reports.

Impact Brown has logged a pair of limited practice since being designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday. He said Thursday that his availability for Sunday's game against the Jets is "up in the air." The decision regarding whether to play is out of Brown's hands, as his availability will be determined with head coach Mike Vrabel in consultation with team doctors. Brown has once more chance remaining to upgrade to full participation Friday before New England releases Week 6 injury designations. He would need to be added back onto the active roster before being eligible to play.

Week 6 status "up in the air" Brown (ankle) said Thursday that it's "up in the air" whether he'll be available for Sunday's game against the Jets, and that the decision will ultimately be made by head coach Mik...

Impact Brown practiced Wednesday after having his 21-day window to return from injured reserve opened. "I felt pretty good," Brown said regarding Wednesday's practice, during which he was listed as limited. "It's one step at a time." The flashy offseason acquisition has missed the past four games due to a sprained ankle sustained in the second half of New England's season-opening loss to Seattle. A loss to the Jets on Sunday would drop the Patriots to third in the AFC East standings, but New England's passing game has been trending in the right direction despite Brown's ongoing absence, as Drake Maye has a 7:1 TD:INT over the past two games after posting a 1:6 ratio through Week 3.

Limited in return to practice Brown (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Impact Brown already has been designated for return from injured reserve, so this report suggests the Patriots wide receiver is at least nearing game readiness. His status for Sunday still appears unresolved, but a return would give New England's passing game a boost.

Designated for return from IR Head coach Mike Vrabel said Wednesday that the Patriots are designating Brown (ankle) for return from injured reserve, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Brown has missed the required four games while on IR due to the right high-ankle sprain that he sustained in a Week 1 loss at Seattle. While the Patriots offense initially sputtered without its big offseason addition, QB Drake Maye has come to life the last two games, and getting Brown back in the fold perhaps will help stabilize the situation further. Nevertheless, Brown will need to put himself in a position to play again, and Wednesday's injury report will reveal his baseline activity level as New England begins prep for Sunday's contest against the Jets.

Could return to practice Week 6 Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said Monday that Brown (ankle) has "a chance" to return to practice this week, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.

Impact With Brown on injured reserve due to an ankle injury, a return to practice would mark an important step in his recovery. The wide receiver appears to be progressing after prior reports indicated he was moving well, though Vrabel's comment stops short of confirming when Brown will actually be back on the field.

Walking without limp Brown (ankle) was seen in the locker room Wednesday without a noticeable limp, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact When Brown came out of Week 1 with a right high-ankle sprain, he was expected to be sidelined for up to six weeks, but his placement on IR before Week 2 action means he's eligible to return to practice as soon as next week. That doesn't mean he actually will be, but being able to move about sans limp generally is a good sign in his recovery and could mean practice reps are on the horizon for the Patriots' No. 1 wide receiver.
