sports

New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel will miss Day 3 of the NFL Draft on Saturday. The team announced Thursday that Vrabel plans to be with his family this weekend outside of Massachusetts and will not be with the team.

Vrabel is seeking counseling in the wake of photos emerging of himself and longtime NFL reporter Dianna Russini at an Arizona resort. The images were published by the New York Post.

As a result, Vrabel will not be part of the Patriots team managing the draft on Saturday, including the third round. Despite his absence, the coach expressed confidence that the Patriots will have a successful draft.
