Patriots' A.J. Brown Practices for 1st Time Since Going on IR; Christian Gonzalez Also Back on Field
A.J. Brown returned to practice on a limited basis after a high-ankle sprain, and New England opened his 21-day activation window.
- On Wednesday, the New England Patriots opened the 21-day practice window for wide receiver A.J. Brown, head coach Mike Vrabel announced to reporters.
- Brown sustained a high-ankle sprain during the Week 1 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on September 9, forcing him onto injured reserve and sidelining him for the last four games.
- The three-time Pro Bowl pass-catcher has recorded 527 receptions for 8,055 yards and 56 touchdowns across his career, while New England's offense has averaged 37 points over the last two contests.
- Offensive tackle Marcus Bryant will also have his 21-day practice window opened, while Vrabel noted the team will wait until the weekend to determine the status of TreVeyon Henderson and Will Campbell.
- Sunday's Week 6 game against the New York Jets may be a long shot for Brown's return, according to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, who noted the team is likely taking a cautious approach.
