Redskins RT Jamaal Brown (hip surgery) is optimistic that he can return to game action on Nov. 18. "After the surgery, about four days later, it was amazing," Brown said. "Once he got it out, I could do everything all over again." Brown is eligible to return to practice next week. Once he does return, the Redskins have 21 days to add him to the active roster. Coach Mike Shanahan's hope is that Brown will be healthy enough to play after the Week 10 bye.
