Mike Vrabel back with Patriots on Monday after missing Day 3 of NFL Draft

After missing Day 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft this weekend to be with his family, New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel returned to work on Monday, according to a team source.Vrabel announced last week that he was going to miss the final day of the draft Saturday, which encompasses Rounds 4 through 7, amid ongoing questions about photos published by the New York Post showing him at an Arizona hotel hugging and holding hands with Dianna Russini, who was The Athletic’s senior NFL insider at the time. Russini resigned from The Athletic on April 14. Additional photos of the pair have since emerged.Advertisement
