  "account": "On Monday, Mike Vrabel spoke with reporters about the New England Patriots' preparation for their Week 2 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Some key points that emerged from the meetings and practice were the impact of A.J. Brown's injury on the team's offense and the possibility of Kyle Williams taking on a bigger role. Vrabel emphasized that the team would not make any major adjustments to their game plan and instead focus on getting Brown back as soon as possible. The Patriots also confirmed that running back TreVeyon Henderson and backup center Ben Brown would practice, while Robert Spillane, Behren Morton, and Dametrious Crownover were absent. The team further addressed the uncertain kickoff return situation, with Vrabel highlighting Kyle Williams' performance and Reggie Gilliam's blocking ability. The signing of defensive tackle DaQuan Jones was announced as well, joining a roster with experienced players like Milton Williams, Christian Barmore, and Cory Durden.",
