Patriots activate A.J. Brown for Jets game as Henderson and Campbell remain active
Brown returns after four games out with an ankle injury. The Patriots also have TreVeyon Henderson and Will Campbell available for their Week 6 matchup.
The New England Patriots have A.J. Brown available for their Week 6 game against the New York Jets on Sunday, October 18, in Foxborough, Massachusetts, after he missed four games with a high ankle sprain. Running back TreVeyon Henderson and left tackle Will Campbell are also active despite leaving the Patriots’ previous game with injuries, according to the Boston Herald and Patriots Wire.
Brown was activated from injured reserve on Saturday, the Boston Herald reported. He suffered the ankle injury in New England’s Week 1 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, shortly after the Patriots acquired him from Philadelphia in June. Sunday’s game is set to be his second appearance in a Patriots uniform.
Henderson and Campbell available after Raiders game
Henderson and Campbell both failed to finish the Patriots’ win over the Las Vegas Raiders the previous Sunday. Henderson had an ankle injury and Campbell a knee injury, according to the Boston Herald. Henderson said an MRI early in the week showed a high ankle sprain; he returned to practice on a limited basis Wednesday.
The active designations mean New England can use both players against the Jets. Their status had been in question after the Raiders game, but the pregame inactive list did not include either of them. Patriots Wire also reported that both would be on the field Sunday.
Patriots and Jets Week 6 inactives
The Patriots listed cornerbacks Carlton Davis III, Karon Prunty and Channing Canada, offensive lineman Dametrious Crownover, tight end Tanner Arkin and quarterback Behren Morton as inactive. Both Patriots Wire and the Boston Herald reported the same six names. The Herald identified Morton as the emergency third quarterback, whose eligibility to enter depends on the availability of Drake Maye and Tommy DeVito.
Christian Gonzalez is available after missing two games, the Boston Herald reported. With three cornerbacks inactive, the Patriots also elevated safety Elliott Davison from the practice squad for special teams and defensive depth. Gonzalez, Marcus Jones, Charles Woods, Kindle Vildor and Davison were among the defensive backs available, according to the Herald.
Arkin’s absence also changes New England’s options at fullback: the undrafted rookie served in that role the previous week while Reggie Gilliam was on injured reserve. The Herald reported that Hunter Henry, Eli Raridon and Cameron Latu were available at tight end, and that Latu has fullback experience.
For the Jets, Patriots Wire listed running back Breece Hall, receiver Adonai Mitchell, defensive back Nahshon Wright, edge rusher Joseph Ossai, offensive lineman Dylan Parham and defensive tackle Jack Heflin as inactive. Those absences leave both teams with changes to their available personnel before the divisional matchup.
