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.
