Summary
Thursday's joint practice ended with A.J. Brown and Jalen Hurts speaking for a few minutes, smiling and shaking hands in their first reported conversation since Brown left Philadelphia.
Wednesday, Brown had said he had not spoken with Hurts since the trade, making the post-practice exchange a visible thaw between former close teammates.
Brown's exit followed frustration with his role in the Eagles offense over the past two seasons after a four-year run of 339 catches, 5,034 yards and 32 touchdowns.
Hurts had already signaled a softer tone before the reunion, saying he still had "a lot of love" for Brown as both players try to move on to the new season.
