Brown returned to practice this week after missing four games due to a high-ankle sprain that he suffered during the team’s season-opening game on September 10.
Cornerback Christian Gonzalez, who had been dealing with a right shoulder injury, also returned to practice this week. The Patriots are dealing with several injuries, including TreVeyon Henderson and Will Campbell, who are questionable for Sunday’s game.
New England, 3-2, has won two straight.
