Is Mike Vrabel missing Stefon Diggs - New England Patriots coach’s “not very deep” comment raises questions about AJ Brown’s importance
Coach Mike Vrabel of the New England Patriots has pointed out the team’s critical lack of depth, igniting a conversation regarding player significance and roster dynamics. With numerous recent player changes, Vrabel elaborated that his focus lies in developing late-round draft picks and backup talent. The Patriots are determined to bolster their team’s resilience in anticipation of the new season.
Head coach Mike McCarthy offered an update on defensive end Joey Porter Jr. as starting cornerback Jalen Ramsey returned from the physically unable to participate (PUP) list. Porter Jr.'s contract negotiations continued less than three weeks before the NFL regular season begins. The young cornerback, who had been working individually during on-field activities, was once again on the PUP list following Monday's session.
Porter Jr. was a late inclusion to the original list initially proposed by general manager Omar Khan. When asked about the necessity of seeing Porter Jr. with the defense during the preseason, McCarthy admitted it was a challenging situation for both parties. He expressed his desire to coach Joey Porter Jr. but acknowledged that they are currently at an impasse, given that everyone involved has contractual obligations and beliefs.
Jalen Ramsey, on the other hand, emphasized the importance of having the entire secondary on the field and stated that the team needs to pay Joey Porter Jr.
