AJ. Brown is set to return to practice after being on IR, suffering a high ankle sprain in week one. The Patriots are designating Brown to return from IR, open the 21-day practice window for the 29-year-old receiver. If he isn't added back to the active roster by the end of it, he's out for the season. Drake May has been cooking the past two weeks without AJ. You look at what he did to Buffalo, went to Buffalo, beat Buffalo, and then put out a mean demonstration on the Raiders. How big would it be for AJ to come back and give them another boost in the receiving game?

Chad Ochocinco Johnson (0:34)

It's going to be enormous. It's going to be really enormous, especially after the performance Drake May just had last week. That confidence going to that game, having AJ back, and knowing that that is one target that I can count on, first, second and third down, that can get it off the muscle, I absolutely am happy. I'm happy he's coming back. You got a viable target that you know you can get the ball to, you know what they're going to do to him, right, Unc, after missing four games?

Shannon Sharpe (0:58)

What's that?

Chad Ochocinco Johnson (1:00)

Oh, they're from the feeding, boy.

Shannon Sharpe (1:01)

Get him involved early.

Chad Ochocinco Johnson (1:02)

And guess who they're playing?

Shannon Sharpe (1:04)

Who?

Chad Ochocinco Johnson (1:05)

The Jets. And that's no disrespect to the Jets, but man, listen, boy, you already know what's happening.

Shannon Sharpe (1:11)

Yeah, yeah.

Chad Ochocinco Johnson (1:12)

If anybody got AJ. Brown on their fantasy team, I'm telling you, plug him in that because after missing four games, they're going to force feed him.

Shannon Sharpe (1:20)

Yeah. I'm looking to see AJ get back out there, too. I'm sure Drake May is, too, Uncle Ochocinco. Considering the fact that, you know, from where A.J.'s come from, you know, he want to... Hey, look, man, I want to put on a hell of a performance. I want to show y'all why y'all brought me over here and the value that I bring to this team. So I'm looking forward to see AJ get back out there and be dominant, bro.

That's the thing. What's so frustrating is when you go to a new team and you get hurt almost immediately, that is the most Debbie Downer thing that you can possibly think of. Because I had a great off season. I'm so excited to be a new team. Everybody got what they wanted. I got to go to a new team. Philly got me away from there because, whatever the case may be. But I'm happy to be here. And then the first game of the season, this will happen. That was messed up.

Those are the breaks. And so now, he has 21 days, basically three weeks. If he's not able to practice in those three weeks, he has to go on IR for the entire year. I'm glad they brought this back because, normally, Joe, if they put you on IR, you was gone for the year. Really?

I'm saying, early, if they put you on there early, they could never take you off. Nope. Damn. That's for players who come in. It was a situation. Well, let me tell you what really started them doing like that. Teams were hiding players. They put them on IR, they bring them back for the 80s because they wanted to get an extra look at them. And if you say, see y'all, no good D goes unpunished. I tell you what, put his ass on IR and see what he can. He can't play the whole year. They always trying to cut corners, ain't they, man? Yeah. They trying to figure out a way. They always, they say you ain't cheating, you ain't trying.

But hopefully he comes back and can contribute and be the AJ. Brown that we know he can be. The guy that we saw in Tennessee the first couple of years in Philly. Yeah.

What did this man do? Hey, man, I like that. I like this shit up.

Chad Ochocinco Johnson (3:34)

Huh?

Shannon Sharpe (3:34)

I like that up.

Chad Ochocinco Johnson (3:38)

Joseph, he locked it out of a joke, a joke, a joke. Don't do it. Don't disrespect me. I'm going to put hands on you. Listen, when it comes to when it comes, when it comes to my craft, don't disrespect me.

Shannon Sharpe (3:48)

No, no, no, no.

Put my hands all on you. I wish you would. Yeah. Yeah.

Chad Ochocinco Johnson (3:53)

Hey, Joe. Hey, can I tell you something?
