One day after Trent Brown’s return, the New England Patriots welcomed another member of their injured reserve list back at practice. Linebacker Chase Winovich was spotted by the reporters on site, which means that his 21-day roster activation window has now been opened.
Over the next three weeks, the Patriots will have to make a decision on Winovich: either they will activate him to their 53-man roster or else he will revert back to injured reserve and stay there for the remainder of the season.
Winovich, 26, was originally sent to injured reserve in mid-October after hurting his hamstring during the overtime loss to they Dallas Cowboys.
