News Summary

• New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel is set to seek counseling and will miss Day 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft.
• The move is tied to a developing situation involving photos of V rabel at a resort, which surfaced after his earlier commitments around the draft process.
• The Patriots therefore will rely on the remaining leadership and decision-makers to keep draft operations running through the latter part of the event.
• Draft Day 3 typically involves additional roster-building decisions beyond Round 1, and losing a key voice can affect coordination and final pick-day preferences.
