What happened: A.J. Brown revealed Wednesday he has not communicated with Jalen Hurts since his June trade to the New England Patriots. Speaking after a joint practice between the teams, the receiver declined to discuss the reasons behind his departure from Philadelphia.

Why it matters: The trade that sent Brown to New England dismantled one of the most productive offensive pairings in the league. Brown spent four seasons with the Eagles, winning a Super Bowl before seeking a change of scenery this offseason.

What to watch: The Patriots and Eagles will face off in a preseason exhibition game on Saturday in Foxborough.
