NFL notebook: WR Brown reportedly wants to play

Brown, 31, is being investigated by the NFL under its personal conduct policy
after a former trainer filed a lawsuit alleging that he sexually assaulted her
on multiple occasions.

Last month, Brown tweeted that he "will not be playing in the NFL anymore."
Last week, he filed eight grievances against the Raiders and Patriots seeking
a reported $39.8 million in lost salary, bonuses and guaranteed money.

Despite his "retirement" announcement, Brown has been training and staying in
shape and would welcome a return to New England if he is cleared to play, ESPN
reported.

--Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley has been ruled out of Sunday's NFC
West clash with the San Francisco 49ers.

Gurley didn't practice all week due to a left thigh contusion, an injury
sustained in the Rams' 30-29 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Oct. 3.

Malcolm Brown likely will receive the bulk of the work, with rookie Darrell
Henderson next in line. John Kelly was promoted from the practice squad for
depth.

--Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur said wide receiver Davante Adams' turf
toe injury will keep him out of Monday night's game against the Detroit Lions.

Adams sustained the injury in the Week 4 loss to Philadelphia and did not play
in last Sunday's win at Dallas.

Also out for the Packers will be first-round rookie safety Darnell Savage, who
is week to week with an ankle injury.

--Lions defensive tackle Mike Daniels (foot) was officially ruled out for
Monday's game against his former team, the Packers.

Questionable for Detroit are wideout Danny Amendola (chest), tight end T.J.
Hockenson (concussion), defensive backs Darius Slay (hamstring) and Quandre
Diggs (hamstring) and defensive linemen A'Shawn Robinson (knee) and Da'Shawn
Hand. Hockenson is expected to clear concussion protocol by game time, barring
a setback.

--Packers running back Aaron Jones has been fined $10,527 for an
unsportsmanlike conduct penalty he incurred in last Sunday's game, the player
revealed to ESPN.

Jones was fined by the league for taunting/unsportsmanlike conduct after he
waved goodbye to cornerback Byron Jones during his touchdown run in Green
Bay's win over the Dallas Cowboys.

--The Washington Redskins will place tight end Jordan Reed on injured reserve
due to lingering effects from his latest concussion.

The 29-year-old veteran hasn't played since sustaining the injury in the
Redskins' third preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons on Aug. 22.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported last month that this could be a career-ending
situation for Reed, who has suffered at least six concussions.

--The NFL fined Oakland guard Richie Incognito for two plays in the Raiders'
Week 5 win over the Chicago Bears, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

The league fined Incognito $21,054 in all for a chop block and for unnecessary
roughness, Pelissero reported.

--The New York Jets waived quarterback Luke Falk after he started the club's
previous two games.

Falk was expendable with starter Sam Darnold returning from mononucleosis to
start Sunday's game for the Jets (0-4) against the Dallas Cowboys. David Fales
will be the backup quarterback.

New York needed a roster spot to activate linebacker Brandon Copeland, who is
returning from a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's policy on
performance-enhancing drugs.

--Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Steve Nelson has been ruled out of Sunday's
game against the Chargers in Los Angeles and will not travel with the team.

Nelson suffered a groin injury during last week's 26-23 overtime loss to the
Baltimore Ravens and was a limited participant in practice all week.

--The Los Angeles Chargers waived tight end Stephen Anderson.

Anderson was promoted from the practice squad on Oct. 1 to replace Sean
Culkin, who tore his Achilles. He played in just one game, seeing five
special-teams snaps in Sunday's loss to Denver.
