But Brown’s outlook changed this past week, when the Patriots designated him to return from injured reserve, which put him play to return for Week 6. Adding to the optimism, Brown was able to turn in three limited practices before drawing a questionable tag.

Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel reacts to A.J. Brown's three drops, including a potential touchdown, in New England's Week 6 win over the New York Jets.

New England Patriots wideout A.J. Brown returned to practice this week, after being on injured reserve with an ankle injury, and reportedly is expected to play Sunday's matchup against the New York Jets.

The New England Patriots defeated the New York Jets 26-19 in Week 6 of the NFL season. The Patriots advance to 4-2 while the Jets drop to 2-4. New England is also notably now 2-0 on divisional games this season.

“I didn’t play good. I don’t know, like, my timing was off,” Brown said after the game. “I’m much better than what I put on display today. There’s no excuses. I’ll be better.” Brown called himself “more than capable” of making the plays he failed to make on Sunday and said nothing related to the injury factored into the rough day.

The Philadelphia Eagles lost a fourth straight game to the Carolina Panthers in Week 6. The Eagles now sit at 2-4 on the season and their outlook is pretty bleak with star quarterback Jalen Hurts sidelined indefinitely with a blood clot.

The Patriots are suddenly riding a three-game win streak after beating the Bills, Raiders, and Jets. The post Patriots 26, Jets 19: A.J. Brown rusty in return, but Drake Maye’s 3 TDs enough for win appeared first on Boston.
