A.J. Brown - Slight improvement in Week 7 loss Brown brought in three of six targets for 48 yards in the Patriots' 30-24 loss to the Bears on Thursday.
Impact Brown entered the night looking to put a fairly forgettable Week 6 return from injury behind him, but the veteran wideout could only slightly improve his numbers in the high-scoring loss. Brown was fairly quiet until the second half, when he had 16- and 14-yard grabs. Brown did finish second in targets on the night for New England, but Drake Maye focused most on tight end Hunter Henry and Rhamondre Stevenson, who saw a combined 12 targets. With Romeo Doubs (IR, shoulder) out for at least three more games, Brown will have a chance to see elevated volume in a Week 8 road matchup against the Dolphins on Sunday, Nov. 1.

NFL Catchup: Giants To Start J.J. McCarthy; Josh Jacobs Back At Packers Practice
A.J. Brown - Good to go for Thursday Night Football Brown (ankle) does not carry an injury designation going into Thursday's game against the Bears.
Impact Brown turned in a full practice Wednesday, and that was enough to take him off the injury report going into the Week 7 primetime matchup with Chicago. He returned from a four-game absence in Week 6 and played 76 percent of the offensive snaps against the Jets, recording three catches for 27 yards on 10 targets. Brown and the Patriots will face a Bears defense that allows 9.8 yards per target to opposing receivers.

A.J. Brown - Remains listed as limited Tuesday Brown (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's practice report.
Impact Brown returned from a four-game absence this past Sunday against the Jets, and with no reported setbacks, his listed limitations Monday and Tuesday are likely maintenance-related. In any case, Wednesday's practice/injury report will clarify whether the Patriots' top WR approaches Thursday's game against the Bears with a designation or fully cleared for Week 7 action.

A.J. Brown - On practice field Tuesday Brown (ankle) was spotted on the practice field Tuesday, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN.com.
Impact Brown, who returned from a four-game absence this past Sunday against the Jets, was listed as limited on Monday's estimated practice report. It remains to be seen how the Patriots list his Tuesday participation level, but at this stage there's no reason to believe that the wideout's availability for Thursday night's game against the Bears is in any danger.

A.J. Brown - Limited on Monday's practice estimate Brown (ankle) was listed as limited on Monday's estimated practice report.
Impact In his return from a four-game absence Sunday against the Jets, Brown was targeted 10 times but hauled in only three of them for 27 yards. It appears he's still bothered by his previous right ankle sprain, as evidenced by a capped walkthrough Monday, but he still has two more chances to get back to full this week before potentially being tagged with a designation for Thursday's contest at Chicago.

A.J. Brown - Inefficient with 10 targets in return Brown secured three of 10 targets for 27 yards in the Patriots' 26-19 win over the Jets on Sunday and fumbled once but recovered.
Impact Brown's return from a four-game absence due to an ankle injury largely fell flat, but it could have been a lot more productive had it not been for his clear drop on a nicely thrown deep pass from Drake Maye early in the second quarter. Brown has already seen 23 targets from Maye over the two games the star receiver has suited for, so the chemistry is bound to continue to blossom once they finally have an uninterrupted stretch of games to work together. Brown won't have to wait long to try and atone, however, as the Patriots are back in action Thursday night on the road against the Bears.

A.J. Brown struggles in his return for Patriots after missing 4 games with a high ankle sprain

Patriots wide receiver A
OCTOBER 18 • Associated Press
A.J. Brown - Active for Sunday's game Brown (ankle) is listed as active Sunday against the Jets.
Impact Brown is making his first appearance since Week 1, when he suffered a right high-ankle sprain, and there's an expectation that he'll be able to play "a good amount" of snaps, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. What that may amount to for Browns remains to be seen, but in his 16 appearances (including playoffs last season with the Eagles, he handled at least an 87 percent snap share in all but two of those contests.

A.J. Brown - Set to play 'good amount' of snaps Week 6 Brown (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, is expected to be active and play "a good amount" of snaps, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Impact Brown will suit up for the first time since the season opener, when his Patriots debut came to an early end after he sustained a high-ankle sprain.

A.J. Brown - Activated from injured reserve The Patriots activated Brown (ankle) from injured reserve Saturday, but he's still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets.
Impact Even though he's still questionable, the fact that Brown was activated from IR indicates that the veteran wide receiver will be on the field for Sunday's AFC East showdown. Brown has fully recovered from a right ankle sprain that he sustained in Week 1 against the Seahawks, and he should serve as Drake Maye's top target in the passing game.

A.J. Brown - 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.
