Nearing return Mapu (undisclosed) is expected to be designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Impact Mapu has been on IR since Week 1 prep began and has missed the mandatory four games of action. He'll now be able to practice with the team once he's officially designated to return. Considering the amount of time he's missed, it's unlikely the 24-year-old will be moved to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins, but further clarity there should be available later in the week.

IR bound Mapu (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

Impact Mapu will have a chance to return this season since the Patriots used one of their two designated to return IR spots from cut-down day. The second-year pro will still need to miss the first four games of the season, but will then be eligible to return Week 5, assuming he is healthy enough to do so.

Dealing with injury Head coach Jerod Mayo told reporters Wednesday that Mapu is considered week-to-week with an undisclosed injury, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Reiss also noted that Mapu hasn't practiced since the first day of Patriots' training camp, so it's been almost a full month since he last touched the field. While the Sacramento State product remains sidelined, expect Joshuah Bledsoe to see more reps as New England's second-team free safety.
