FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — A.J. Brown and Jalen Hurts did not reconnect at the joint practice between the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles on Wednesday. Brown said the former teammates have not spoken since Brown was traded to the Patriots in June. Still, neither fueled the soap opera-like interest in their relationship after practice.“Philly, man — y’all are tough,” Brown said to reporters who asked how he left it with Hurts. “It’s love. Honestly, guys, none of that stuff even matters. You all should want to report something positive. You know asking the question is going to turn negative. So let’s not get into that. Let’s keep everything positive. It’s love my way. And just move forward.”Brown added that if he crossed paths with Hurts this week, they’d speak with each other.“I got a lot of love for him — always have,” Hurts said. Brown was spotted chatting with other former teammates, along with coaches and support staff from his time in Philadelphia. He said he “felt some love” even though he’s “on an opposing team now.”The Brown trade dominated headlines for the first months of the year before it could be facilitated on June 1. Brown’s discontent was apparent in his final season with the Eagles. That left a sour taste in Philadelphia at the end of a historic four-year run that included a Lombardi Trophy, another Super Bowl appearance and the two top seasons for receiving yards in franchise history. Both sides have moved on, although this week’s practice sessions had been circled as appointment viewing since the trade.
