Mike Vrabel expresses remorse and wants to focus on family; could miss time with Patriots

FOXBORO, Mass. — New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel expressed remorse amid the Thursday publication of more photos that appeared to show him together with Dianna Russini, and did not rule out the potential of stepping away from the team for longer than just the third day of the NFL Draft.“My previous actions don’t meet the standard that I hold myself to,” Vrabel told reporters in a pre-draft news conference on Thursday night. He added: “My family needs me this weekend and that’s where I’ll be.”Advertisement
