The Patriots have played without first-round pick Will Campbell over the past four games, but he is close to returning to the lineup ahead of the playoffs.
Head coach Mike Vrabel told reporters Monday that the team expects Campbell to return to practice this week. This is the first week Campbell is eligible to return from injured reserve.

Campbell has been sidelined with a knee injury.
A return to practice will open a 21-day window to activate Campbell, so he can return for the playoffs even if the Patriots don’t take him off injured reserve before their Week 18 game against the Dolphins.
