Coach John Harbaugh expects Brown (ankle) to play in Sunday's game against the Patriots, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Brown was held out of practice Friday after participating in a limited capacity Wednesday and Thursday. The Ravens have been careful with managing his practice reps all season, initially due to his recovery from January foot surgery and now to avoid any issues with an ankle sprain on the other leg. While Harbaugh is optimistic about Brown, Hensley believes the rookie could have his workload restricted Sunday night. It remains to be seen how the Ravens list the receiver on their final injury report.
