New England Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown missed Thursday's practice with a new knee ailment, leaving his status for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins uncertain, while Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Jadarian Price returned to practice from injured reserve the same day.

What is A.J. Brown's injury status?

Brown has been working back from a right high ankle sprain sustained in the season opener and returned from injured reserve on Oct. 14. The new knee issue was added to the injury report Wednesday, and Thursday's padded practice may have factored into the decision to hold him out, according to ESPN.

In two games since returning, Brown played 102 snaps and totaled six catches for 75 yards with three drops. He told reporters he is still building back his explosion and is "pushing through."

With Brown sidelined, DeMario "Pop" Douglas led receivers through drills, followed by Kyle Williams and Efton Chism III, the only three healthy receivers on the 53-man roster. Offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels said Brown's integration remains a process, noting he has played eight quarters in almost two months.

Is Jadarian Price ready to play for the Seahawks?

Seattle designated Price to return to practice Thursday after he missed the past four games with a chest injury first suffered in Week 2 against Arizona. He was a limited participant.

Coach Mike Macdonald called it "realistic" for Price to play Monday night against the Chicago Bears, though the team must add him to the active roster first. Veteran Zach Charbonnet, in his second week of full participation, also could return. Emanuel Wilson currently leads Seattle with 111 carries for 403 yards and three touchdowns.

Left tackle Charles Cross did not practice with an ankle sprain but is not expected to go on injured reserve; Josh Jones would start in his place.
