New England Patriots wideout A.J. Brown is back on the practice field this week, hitting the grass after being sidelined on injured reserve with an ankle injury. This is huge news for the Pats, especially with Sunday’s matchup against the New York Jets looming.
One Step at a Time
Brown himself updated reporters on Thursday, giving everyone the lowdown on how he is feeling. His words were super telling about his recovery: “I feel pretty good,” he said. “It’s one step at a time with me, each and every day, just trying to increase my [workload], and just see how I respond each and every day. But I feel good, on the grass, practicing, working on the sides a little more.” That “one step at a time” vibe shows he is being smart about it, not rushing anything. But the key is “I feel good, on the grass, practicing.” That’s what everyone needed to hear.
Gearing Up for the Jets
His return to practice this week, coming off that injured reserve stint, is perfectly timed for the Patriots as they prep to face the Jets. Having a player of Brown’s caliber back out there, even if it’s “working on the sides a little more,” has to give the team a lift. Everyone will be watching to see how much he can ramp up his workload before Sunday’s kick-off. Will he be a full go? Limited? Just his presence out there practicing changes things for the Jets’ defensive planning.
The Patriots take on the New York Jets this Sunday. All eyes will be on A.J. Brown to see if he suits up and what kind of impact he can make in his return.
