Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown meet on the field for the first time since Brown’s offseason trade as both teams take part in a joint practice. Multiple outlets describe the pair sharing a moment after practice, with Brown and Hurts acknowledging their connection from their time together in Philadelphia.
The reporting frames the reunion as notable because Brown previously served as Hurts’ top target with the Eagles. The Athletic also includes Brown’s remarks to reporters, where he speaks about moving forward with his new team, saying, “I’m here now. I’m not going backward.” Other coverage focuses more on the visible on-field exchange following the practice rather than additional comments.
Overall, the outlets align on the timing—during joint Eagles-Patriots workouts—and on the central point: Hurts and Brown acknowledge their former partnership while Brown is now actively integrating with the Patriots.
