Summary
Mitchell opened the Eagles-Patriots joint practice by breaking up a pass to Brown in the first one-on-one rep, a play he called “good on good” after several competitive snaps.
Foxborough’s high-tempo session gave the first-team All-Pro corner a key preseason test against his former teammate, with Mitchell saying the work helps sharpen his game before Philadelphia’s Sept. 13 opener against Washington.
Brown and Mitchell kept the matchup quiet—Mitchell said they did not talk until after practice—despite added intrigue from Brown’s offseason move from Philadelphia to New England.
Mitchell still came away wanting more from the defense, saying the unit needed more plays, energy and juice before returning for another day of joint work.
