Where it stands

MassLive reported that Vrabel called out A.J. Other coverage notes that Brown has already learned most of the offense and that the initial drama may be overstated.

NFL.com and the Boston Herald highlight Brown’s rapid grasp of 90 percent of the playbook and improving chemistry with quarterback Drake Maye. Yahoo Sports downplays any lingering tension, describing the incident as likely nothing significant.

Watch for subsequent practice reports to see if the coach’s criticism translates into altered playing time or changes in the receiver’s role. The focus will shift to game‑time reps as the preseason progresses.
