Mailata Comments on Viral Hurts-Brown Reunion at Joint Practice

Comcast Corporation-owned Philadelphia Eagles offensive tackle Jordan Mailata provided a candid reaction to the on-field reunion between quarterback Jalen Hurts and former teammate A.J. Brown during a recent joint practice with the New England Patriots. Noting the interaction between the two stars, Mailata suggested the footage was likely to become a trending moment on social media.

Brown, who was traded to the Patriots on June 1 after four seasons in Philadelphia, spent significant time chatting with Hurts on the practice field. The meeting marked a notable visual given the history between the players, who helped the Eagles secure a Super Bowl victory in the 2024 season. Their relationship had previously faced public scrutiny that same year regarding Brown’s role in the offense.

The 29-year-old receiver’s departure from Philadelphia was a high-profile roster move this offseason. As Brown settles into his new role in New England, the joint practice offered the first public opportunity for him to reconnect with his former quarterback and mentor.

The Patriots and Eagles are scheduled to face off in a preseason matchup on Saturday, giving Brown his first opportunity to compete directly against his old team.

Market Context: Comcast Corporation, the media conglomerate that owns NBCUniversal and broadcasts Eagles content through regional sports networks, saw its stock price move to $26.80 on Friday, representing a 1.68% increase from the previous close. The company holds a market capitalization of approximately $90.7 billion.
