The New England Patriots are reportedly putting pressure on Jimmy Garoppolo to play in Week 3 despite a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder.

Garoppolo returned to practice with the Patriots on Tuesday on a limited basis.

Garoppolo is still struggling to lift his right arm.

The Patriots have reminded Garoppolo Tom Brady played through a similar injury on multiple occasions throughout his career.

Brady will return to the Patriots after Week 4.
