Patriots injuries: A.J. Brown suspected return, Brenden Schooler update, and more

The New England Patriots are awaiting the return of several key players from injured reserve following their recent victory over the Buffalo Bills. Wide receiver A.J. Brown, who suffered a high ankle sprain in Week 1, is eligible to return as early as Week 6 according to NFL insider Mike Garafolo.

Additionally, offensive lineman Marcus Bryant and special teams ace Brenden Schooler are both eligible to come off injured reserve ahead of Week 5 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Their potential activations would bolster an offensive line missing Mike Onwenu and strengthen special teams coordinator Jeremy Springer's unit.
