Brown, whose lack of effort reportedly has angered players and coaches, was a healthy scratch last Sunday in New England's road loss to the Buffalo Bills. Additionally, a report Thursday from the Boston Herald claimed Brown told teammates he wanted out immediately after the Patriots' Week 14 road win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Patriots will practice again Friday before holding a closed walkthrough Saturday. Kickoff with the Jets is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET on Sunday.
