England full-back Mike Brown may be available for next weekend's crucial Six Nations clash with Ireland, according to reports.
Brown suffered a concussion during England's 47-17 win over Italy last week and, as England promised to follow the correct concussion protocol, Brown was seen a major doubt for the match in Dublin.
However, The Telegraph claims that Brown is no longer showing symptoms, which means that the return-to-play protocol can begin.
It is expected that Alex Goode will start the match if Brown is ruled out, while the report also suggests that winger Jack Nowell could start in place of the under-fire Jonny May.
England and Ireland have won both of their matches so far to sit jointly at the top of the Six Nations table.
