During a press conference on Wednesday, New England coach Mike Vrabel told reporters that A.J. Brown will travel with the team when the Pats fly to Germany for an international matchup against the Lions.
“I would say mostly everybody but a few guys are gonna go to Germany,” Vrabel said. “I’m including [Brown] in the group that would go.”
However, Vrabel didn’t specify whether Brown will be cleared to return to the field, saying, “There are gonna be guys that go to Germany that won’t play.”
Brown has not played since Week 7, as he is still dealing with ankle and knee injuries. He has only been available for three of the Patriots’ nine games this season, totaling nine receptions for 101 yards.

If Brown doesn’t suit up on Sunday, he would get extra rest during New England’s bye week. After facing the Lions, the Patriots will meet the Chargers in Los Angeles on Nov. 29.
