The NFL is not investigating New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel after photos of him with former Athletic reporter Dianna Russini at an Arizona resort led to her resignation and an internal review at The Athletic. NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy confirmed there is no league inquiry, and the Patriots have not commented on whether they are conducting their own investigation. The photos, published by the New York Post, were taken before the NFL meetings in Phoenix. Both Vrabel and Russini, who are married, downplayed the situation. Russini, who joined The Athletic in 2023 after working at ESPN, resigned, stating her commitment to professionalism. Vrabel, a former Super Bowl-winning player, is preparing for his second season as Patriots coach.
