A.J. Brown Eligible to Return From IR as Patriots Monitor Progress

New England Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown is officially eligible to return from injured reserve after missing four games with a high-ankle sprain suffered in Week 1. Head coach Mike Vrabel noted there is a chance Brown returns to practice ahead of Sunday's game against the New York Jets. His eventual return will provide a major boost to a wideout group currently led by Romeo Doubs and DeMario Douglas.
