A.J. Brown Designated to Return From IR and Limited in Practice

New England Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown (ankle) was designated to return from injured reserve, opening his 21-day window. Brown was a limited participant Wednesday after missing four games following a high-ankle sprain in Week 1 against Seattle where he caught three passes for 26 yards. Head coach Mike Vrabel noted the team has time to evaluate him, but his return to practice provides a much-needed offensive boost for New England as they prepare to face the New York Jets.
