The New York Jets are most likely going to be the team that New England Patriots wide receiver AJ Brown returns against.

When the Jets (2-3) travel to face the Patriots (3-2) in Week 6, it is now expected that Brown is going to return from an ankle injury. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Brown has been activated from injured reserve on Saturday ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. kickoff:

Brown was injured in the Patriots' season opener against the Seattle Seahawks and has been sidelined ever since. Brown was limited throughout the week of practice, according to the Patriots' injury report, but is healthy enough to be activated from injured reserve.

The Pats would have no reason to activate Brown unless he's going to play as practice and preparations

for game day are already over for the Jets. He is going to make his return against New York.
