Quinyon Mitchell Forces AJ Brown Incompletion at Joint Practice

Quinyon Mitchell and AJ Brown often face off against each other during practices, but this time they were representing different teams. On Wednesday, the Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots convened for a joint practice in Foxborough, marking Brown's first encounter with his former team since a significant trade earlier in the offseason.

After publicly expressing discontent with the Eagles organization last season, Brown was traded to New England on June 1. During a one-on-one drill against Mitchell, the All-Pro cornerback demonstrated his prowess by getting his hand in at the last second, forcing an incompletion in the end zone. In his 15-game stint with the Eagles in 2025, Brown recorded 78 catches for 1,003 yards and seven touchdowns.

He has since become the top target for rookie quarterback Drake Maye. Mitchell, entering his third season as a reliable cornerback for the Eagles, recently earned his first First Team All-Pro selection. The Eagles and Patriots are set to face off in a preseason matchup at 7 p.m. ET on Saturday, though they are not scheduled to meet during the 2026 regular season.
