With hurts probably missing extended time Philly may be looking to fire sale. Dallas is currently on a 1 year 7 million dollar contract. What do you think it’d take to get him? Do you think McDaniels and Co would even be interested?

I’d like to see hungry hungry hippos from 4 OL and the 5th lineman place the ball to start the celly. What hasn’t been done that you want to see? Also, what’s your favorite done by the Pats and overall by any other team. My fav is Gronk’s spike in London imitating that “little nutcracker dude guarding the house” and Miami’s roller coaster ride

Wondering if anyone might know why Hoyer and Andrews are not doing their podcasts at a more specific day of the week? I enjoy watching them and whenever I look for their most recent it's like over a week ago. Go Pats!

Apparently lined up with the 1s to start practice. Looks to be moving well in the video.

Patriots OC Josh McDaniels said the Patriots are making contingency plans in case A.J. Brown doesn't play this week.

“Would we know how we're going to go ahead and play the game or use those packages if he doesn't make it? Yes, we have already talked about that, and the guys are studying both ends of the spectrum. And I'd say that's a credit to the guys because you you talk about Chiz, Kyle, Romeo, Pop, Eli, Hunter. They all know multiple positions, and that's a great strength of our group in that we have some versatility."

The struggles from the first few games seem quite a long time ago now. If he can keep up this level of play, all hopes are allowed this season.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — A.J. Brown took a knee at the front of the New England Patriots’ stretching line to kick off practice and smiled. On the other end of the line was Christian Gonzalez. On a nearby field was Will Campbell.

At long last, good news on the injury front had arrived for the Patriots.

Brown practiced for the first time since suffering a high ankle sprain in the season opener. Gonzalez, the NFL’s highest-paid cornerback, expects to return this week from a shoulder injury. And even Campbell, who suffered a sprained knee in Week 5 against the Las Vegas Raiders, wouldn’t rule himself out of Sunday’s game against the New York Jets, an encouraging sign that he avoided the worst-case scenario.

While the Patriots’ season has seemingly flipped after a 1-2 start thanks to a pair of impressive performances from quarterback Drake Maye, they were dealing with injury after injury. Their win over the Raiders was impressive both because of the way they played and because of who they played without.

Now, it seems they won’t be short-handed for long.

The biggest news, of course, is the potential return of Brown. The Patriots traded a first-round pick for the wide receiver in the offseason. But they’ve only had him on the field for essentially one half after he suffered the ankle injury in Week 1 against the Seattle Seahawks. Now, with Maye playing well, the offense could be back close to full speed if Brown plays.

“Huge boost,” was how safety Kevin Byard described it. “He’s a WR1. Obviously, the past couple weeks our passing game has been playing really well, so he adds another dynamic to that.”

Still, it’s not a given that Brown will play Sunday against the Jets. His presence at practice Wednesday merely opened a 21-day window for the Patriots to decide when to activate him to the roster. And the decision could be tricky.

Should they rush him back this week only to face … the Jets? Or should they keep him on the shelf for another week, even though Brown’s typical routine might be complicated by a truncated schedule ahead of next Thursday’s road game against the Chicago Bears? Or should they keep him out of two more games just to be safe?

“He hasn’t been out there for four weeks, so we’ll get him back out there practicing and see if he’s ready to go in a couple days,” coach Mike Vrabel said.

The other good news for the Patriots on Wednesday was the return of their best defensive player. Gonzalez suffered a shoulder injury in the team’s Week 3 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars and had missed both games and every practice since then. Until Wednesday.

Butt fumble

Drake “Drake Maye” Maye is so back

1) we’re picking at 32 anyway xD

2) imo I think LB or CB is much more necessary

He wanted out because he wanted more targets on his contract year, sitting behind AJB, Hollins and Doubs wasn’t gonna let that happen.

He goes to HOU - who now have MHJ, Nico, and Tank will be back by then. He sits behind them.

I don’t think Hollins returns this offseason.. so given the connection Boutte has with Maye paired with Hollins leaving and probably not much FA attention, could Boutte come back?

Drake Maye is back to cooking! Has he fully shed off all the Super Bowl demons?
