Report: Brown wants to resolve issues, return to NFL

The troubled former Steelers-Raiders-Patriots wideout hopes to have his
playing status cleared up "in the next few weeks," ESPN's Jeremy Fowler
reported Saturday.

Brown, 31, is being investigated by the NFL under its personal conduct policy
after a former trainer filed a lawsuit alleging that she was sexually
assaulted 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, sources told Fowler that Brown has been
training and staying in shape and would welcome a return to New England if he
is cleared to play.

The seven-time Pro Bowl selection appeared in just one game this season,
catching four passes for 56 yards and a touchdown in the Patriots' 43-0 win
against the Miami Dolphins in Week 2.
