Patriots activate practice window for AJ Brown ahead of Jets game

The New England Patriots have opened the practice window for wide receiver A.J. Brown, who is currently on injured reserve due to a high ankle sprain. Coach Mike Vrabel indicated there is a possibility for Brown’s return in the upcoming game against the New York Jets on October 18. Brown was traded to the Patriots this offseason but suffered the injury in his first game with the team. He caught three passes for 26 yards against the Seattle Seahawks before being sidelined. NFL insider Ian Rapoport noted that while it might be early for Brown to return, he is eager to play this weekend.
