Maya Lindstrom The connection to Vrabel could help Jones adjust fast to the new system.

Brown left his debut against the Seahawks in the third quarter with an ankle injury and was ruled questionable to return while undergoing further evaluation, after posting three catches for 26 yards and drawing a late first-half DPI. The injury immediately followed his strong start in New England, with team officials updating his status as the medical tent examined him and he headed to the locker room for further checks.

Tom Gallagher Brown was off to a nice start with those catches before the ankle slowed him down.

Entering his second season, he aims to build on a strong rookie year (27 of 32 FG, 53 of 55 XP, 134 points) and establish himself in the season opener against the Seahawks after a rocky preseason.

Rachel Meyers Funny how a jersey number just becomes available and it means so much to a guy. Good story, hope he balls out against Seattle.

Chris Dalton Darnold's injury right after that sack looks bad for Seattle's chances if it's the hip they suspect.

Sam Okafor Ukraine clearly needs those extra Patriot batteries right away given how Russia is hitting Kyiv again.
