PRO FOOTBALL REPORT / WEEKDAY UPDATE : AROUND THE NFL : Patriots Activate Mowatt, but Report Due Out Soon

Zeke Mowatt, who has spent the season on injured reserve and in hot water, was activated by the New England Patriots. His season begins Sunday against Buffalo, but it could end with a report on a locker-room incident in which Mowatt and three or four other Patriots allegedly sexually harassed a female reporter.

Philip Heymann, a Harvard law professor named Oct. 1 to investigate the incident, is expected to issue his report by the end of the month.
