What happened: Coach Mike Vrabel said the plan is for receiver A.J. Brown to practice Thursday, according to beat reporter Mike Reiss. It would mark an early on-field step as Brown integrates with his new team during the offseason program.

Why it matters: Brown's reps matter for an offense being rebuilt around him after he was dealt from Philadelphia this offseason. Getting him into practice early accelerates timing and chemistry ahead of the 2026 season.

What to watch: Watch whether Brown is a full participant or limited, as he has said he spent the offseason rebuilding knee strength with physical therapy five days a week until late April.
