Patriots Thursday S™️🗣️ 12:45p: Jeremy Springer ⭕️©️1:05p: Josh McDaniels 🔒🚪1:15p: Locker room 🏈2:10p: Practice D🤺 Via @MikeReiss on X

What happened: Drake Maye said the offense needs to finish drives. Josh McDaniels is scheduled to speak before Thursday's 2:10 p.m. practice.

Why it matters: New England is 4-3 and seeded eighth after a 30-24 loss at Chicago on Oct. 22. Scoring more touchdowns on red-zone trips would help the Patriots turn drives into points.

By the numbers: The Patriots rank 19th in the red zone.

What to watch: Thursday's practice and injury report will provide the next update on Brown's participation.
