Patriots Activate A.J. Brown for Week 6 Divisional Game vs Jets

The New England Patriots activated wide receiver A.J. Brown off injured reserve ahead of their Week 6 matchup against the New York Jets in Foxborough.

Brown, acquired in the offseason as a marquee addition, suffered a severe high‑ankle sprain in the third quarter of his Week 1 debut against the Seattle Seahawks, which led to his placement on injured reserve.

The injury did not require surgery and kept him out for four consecutive games; he opened a 21‑day practice window before being officially activated.

The Patriots, coached by Mike Vrabel, listed TreVeyon Henderson and Will Campbell as questionable for the same divisional contest.

Brown was listed as active for the Week 6 game and appeared in the contest against the Jets, though reports noted he looked rusty after his absence.
