A. J. Brown activated from injured reserve by Patriots

Overview

Following his return to practice on a limited basis, the New England Patriots have officially activated wide receiver A. J. Brown from injured reserve. Brown, who was acquired via trade from the Philadelphia Eagles, had been sidelined for four games after sustaining a high-ankle sprain during the season opener against the Seattle Seahawks.

His activation comes alongside other roster adjustments ahead of the Patriots’ matchup against the New York Jets. The team elevated safety Elliott Davison from the practice squad and released running back Hassan Haskins from the practice squad. Additionally, running back TreVeyon Henderson was a limited participant in practice this week due to a high-ankle sprain, leaving his availability for Sunday’s game uncertain.

As Brown prepares for his second game with the team, former Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski predicted the receiver will have the “best season of his career,” noting that Brown provides a “necessary top-tier target” for quarterback Drake Maye. Brown has also commented on the leadership of head coach Mike Vrabel, whom he previously played under with the Tennessee Titans, describing a coaching style that focuses on holding players to “high standards.”

Ahead of the Week 6 matchup against the New York Jets, the Patriots have received further positive news as both Henderson and left tackle Will Campbell are considered likely to play. Cornerback Christian Gonzalez is also expected to return to the lineup, though the secondary remains thin with Carlton Davis III sidelined by a neck injury. The Jets will see roster changes including the activation of rookie wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. from injured reserve, but will be without star running back Breece Hall, who is out with a quad injury, as well as wide receiver Adonai Mitchell and offensive lineman Dylan Parham.
