NFL Reveals Patriots Coach Mike Vrabel’s Fate Amid Dianna Russini Scandal

NFL Reveals Patriots Coach Mike Vrabel’s Fate Amid Dianna Russini Scandal

NFL Reporter Dianna Russini Resigns After Vacation Photos With Patriots’ Mike Vrabel Surface

There will be no challenge flags thrown against Mike Vrabel.

After the New England Patriots head coach was photographed on a cozy-looking vacation with sports journalist Dianna Russini, NFL chief spokesperson Brian McCarthy told ESPN that the organization is not reviewing Vrabel’s behavior as part of its personal conduct policy, which requires coaches to avoid “conduct detrimental to the integrity of and public confidence in the National Football League.”

E! News has reached out to reps for Vrabel, the Patriots and the NFL for comment but hasn’t heard back.

Though Vrabel—who’s been married to wife Jen Vrabel since 1999—will not be under investigation by the league, Russini has resigned from her post at The Athletic, a subscription-based journalism department of the New York Times, amid the scandal.

“I have covered the NFL with professionalism and dedication throughout my career, and I stand behind every story I have ever published,” she wrote in an April 14 letter to the sports outlet’s executive editor Steven Ginsberg obtained by the Associated Press. “Unfortunately, commentators in various media have engaged in self-feeding speculation that is simply unmoored from the facts.”
