What happened: New England is expected to activate wide receiver A.J. Brown from Injured Reserve ahead of Sunday's regular-season matchup against the New York Jets, according to Ian Rapoport. Brown was listed questionable upon returning to practice on a limited basis this week following a high-ankle sprain.

Why it matters: Getting Brown back on the active roster restores a primary perimeter target for New England's passing attack in an AFC East divisional game against New York. His full week of limited participation met the Oct. 18 return window projected when he first landed on Injured Reserve.

What to watch: New England must officially process Brown's activation from Injured Reserve to the 53-man roster prior to Sunday's kickoff against the Jets.
