What happened: New England activated wide receiver A.J. Brown from injured reserve to the 53-man roster on Saturday, per Mike Reiss. The Patriots also elevated rookie safety Elliott Davison from the practice squad for Sunday's matchup and released running back Hassan Haskins from the practice squad.

Why it matters: Brown's activation completes his return following a week of limited practices and fills the open spot on the active roster. Davison, an undrafted rookie out of UTSA signed by New England on Sept. 15, provides secondary depth for Sunday, while Haskins departs just four days after signing on Oct. 13.

What to watch: Brown and Davison are eligible to play in Sunday's game against the Jets.
