A.J. Brown finally returned to practice this week for the Patriots after missing more games with knee and ankle injuries. The wide receiver at one point wasn’t a lock to travel with the team to Germany, but he did, and is now active for the game.
We covered the Eagles’ interest in this game via our rooting guide:
NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS at DETROIT LIONS: Thanks to the A.J. Brown trade, the Eagles own the more favorable of either New England’s or Chicago’s 2027 fifth-round pick. However, the Pats are currently the No. 7 seed in the AFC playoff picture. And the Eagles should want to see the Jags fall out of playoff position. That becomes more possible with New England winning here. Root for the Patriots.
