Brown will now need to find a new helmet before New England’s game against the Dolphins on Sunday.
Prior to signing with Xenith, Brown filed tow grievances with the NFL in order to wear his old one. However, both grievances were denied.
Brown Playing on Sunday?
As GoLocalProv reported earlier this week, Brown has been practicing with the Patriots and appears to be on track to play on Sunday in Miami.
“We'll do what's best for the team,” Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said during his press conference on Friday.
When pressed, Belichick added, “I'm not going to hand out a copy of the game plan here. We'll do what we think is best for the team.”
The Patriots visit the Dolphins on Sunday, September 15 at 1 p.m.
