Brown is still serving two more weeks of suspension.
The former Patriots receiver was suspended in the summer after a ton of legal trouble since the 2019 season. Brown was accused of rape and sexual assault and then was arrested in Florida in January.
As part of his punishment over the arrest, he received two years of probation for an incident in January involving the driver of a moving truck. In addition to two years of probation, Brown was ordered to undergo a psychological evaluation and follow-up treatment, attend an anger management course, perform 100 hours of community service, and follow a stay-away order from the truck driver and the moving company owner.
