Jalen Hurts, AJ Brown Speak for the First Time Since Trade
Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and Patriots wide receiver AJ Brown met on the field after joint practice on Thursday.
On Wednesday, wide receiver AJ Brown of the Philadelphia Eagles and quarterback Jalen Hurts of the New England Patriots participated in a joint practice. Brown had publicly expressed dissatisfaction with the Eagles' offense the previous season and rumors circulated about the off-field dynamics between him and Hurts. However, during practice on Thursday, the two former teammates embraced and engaged in a cordial conversation. Hurts affirmed that there was no lingering animosity between him and Brown.
Throughout the 2025 regular season, Brown made 78 receptions for 1,003 yards and seven touchdowns while playing for the Eagles. He is set to assume the starting role in the No. 1 position under rising star quarterback Drake Maye, who helped the Patriots reach the Super Bowl just last season. The Eagles and Patriots are scheduled to clash in a preseason game on Saturday.
