A.J. Brown, Jalen Hurts Reunite for 1st Time Since Trade in Video from Eagles-Patriots Practice

Bleacher Report • August 20, 2026 • sports

Key Points:

A.J. Brown and Jalen Hurts reconnected after a joint practice between the Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots, following Brown's earlier comment that they hadn't spoken since his trade.
Brown emphasized his desire to "keep everything positive" and downplayed any lingering issues from the trade, expressing continued respect and goodwill toward Hurts.
Over the past year, Brown and Hurts' relationship cooled somewhat, with Brown acknowledging they were "not as close as we once were" but insisting there was no bad blood.
Brown's frustration with the Eagles' offense, partly directed at Hurts for not targeting him more aggressively, coincided with a decline in his production during the 2025 season.
Despite the recent tensions and Brown's trade, the duo experienced significant success together, including multiple playoff appearances, two Super Bowl runs, and a Super Bowl victory in the 2024 season.
