Trent Brown Fantasy

The New England Patriots activated offensive tackle Trent Brown (calf) from Injured Reserve on Saturday and placed linebacker Jamie Collins (ankle) on IR in a corresponding move. Brown was able to return to practice this week and looked good enough to be able to return to action in Week 10 against the Cleveland Browns as the team's starting right tackle. Collins, meanwhile, will be forced to miss at least three games. In five games for the Patriots this year, Collins has seven tackles, one sack and one interception. Brown's return will bolster a New England offensive line that has been playing better in recent weeks. Brown has been out since Week 1.

New England Patriots offensive tackle Trent Brown (right calf) has been placed on injured reserve, according to Field Yates of ESPN. He will miss at least three games as injuries continue to plague the New England O-line. The 28-year-old played seven snaps against the Dolphins in Week 1 and has been injured ever since. Brown is one of four starting offensive linemen who won't suit up for the Patriots against the Texans on Sunday. Shaq Mason (abdomen) was ruled out ahead of time while Isaiah Wynn and Michael Onwenu remain on the Reserve/COVID-19 list. As a result, the Patriots' backfield could struggle while running behind backup linemen, though a favorable matchup against Houston helps to alleviate some concerns.

New England Patriots offensive tackle Trent Brown (calf) has been downgraded to out for Week 2 against the Jets. He suffered the injury against the Dolphins last week. With Brown inactive, New England is expected to turn to lineman Yasir Durant, who was acquired from the Chiefs earlier this month. Durant played 23 snaps last week while Justin Herron, who initially replaced Brown when he went down, played 46.
