Patriots' AJ Brown: 'Chance' of Practice This Week
14 Oct
Summary
- AJ Brown could practice this week after a Week 1 ankle sprain.
- Head coach Mike Vrabel indicated a possibility of Brown's return.
- Brown's practice participation will determine his projected return.
New England Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown is nearing a return from his Week 1 ankle sprain. Head coach Mike Vrabel stated there is a "chance" Brown could participate in practice this week, offering a hopeful update for the team. Brown has been on injured reserve since suffering the injury in the loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
The Patriots are scheduled to hold their first practice on Wednesday, October 14. While eligible to return from injured reserve, Brown's clearance for practice does not guarantee his immediate return to game play. His progress in the coming days will be crucial in projecting his return.
Brown managed three receptions for 26 yards before leaving the Week 1 game. His potential return comes as the Patriots face other depth issues, with Mack Hollins also on injured reserve. Brown was recently observed walking without a noticeable limp, signaling positive recovery progress.
