The New England Patriots will finish the 2026 NFL Draft without head coach Mike Vrabel, who said Wednesday he is seeking counseling after photos surfaced of him with former The Athletic reporter Dianna Russini at an Arizona resort. Vrabel will not be present with the Patriots on Day 3 of the draft.
"As I said the other day, I promised my family, this organization, and this team that I was going to give them the best version of me that I can possibly give them. In order to do so, I have committed to seeking counseling, starting this weekend," Vrabel said. "This is something that I have given a lot of thought to and is something I would advise a player to do if I was counseling them.
