The Bills have gone 3-0 following their bye week and have scored an average of 29 points on offense in that stretch. Now that unit could be getting a boost this week ahead of facing the Broncos on Saturday.
According to Buffalo head coach Sean McDermott, wide receiver John Brown will return to practice this week.
“He will practice this week and we’ll see how it goes,” McDermott said via video conference on Monday.
So far in 2020, Brown has struggled mightily due to a series of injuries, most recently the ankle injury which landed him on IR following Buffalo’s bye week. This season Brown only has 29 catches for 386 yards after putting up 72 for 1,060 last season.
While the Bills (10-3) have not yet officially declared Brown as a player designated to return from injured reserve this week, that move could be en route soon. Once that happens, that does not mean that Brown will play vs. the Broncos (5-8).
The Bills will have 21 days until they need to activate him from the point of him bring designated to return or else he automatically returns to the team’s IR.
In terms of Brown coming off of IR prior to the Broncos meeting, that’d most likely happen the day before the game on Friday. It does sound like Brown could be out there sooner rather than later, though.
