The New England Patriots have activated former Georgia Bulldog Isaiah Wynn from Injured Reserve. Wynn, New England’s starting left tackle, was placed on IR earlier this season with a toe injury. ESPN’s Field Yates announced the move today via Twitter:
The Patriots have officially activated LT Isaiah Wynn to the 53-man roster, per source. He's set to return to the lineup Sunday and is a substantial boost for their offensive line.

The Patriots placed Wynn on Injured Reserve after they defeated Miami in week two. Wynn was eligible to return in last week’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles. NFL players must spend at least eight weeks on IR before becoming eligible to return. Teams are now granted two slots for players eligible to return from IR.
New England rookie wide receiver N’Keal Harry returned from IR this week against Philadelphia. The Arizona State product caught three passes for eighteen yards in his debut. New England’s offense hasn’t been playing up to their usual high standards. For now, the Pats’ stout defense is carrying the load.
Wynn and Harry will give Tom Brady and the Patriot offense a much needed boost heading into the last stretch of the regular season. The Patriots can’t activate anybody else from IR moving forward.
