"The New England Patriots are aware of reports regarding a pending February arraignment involving Christian Barmore, which stems from an alleged domestic incident that occurred in August, the team said. The Patriots were made aware at the time of the incident and informed the NFL in a timely manner. The matter remains part of an ongoing legal process. We will respect that process, continue to monitor the situation closely, as we have over the past few months, and cooperate fully with the league."
"Head coach Mike Vrabel said Wednesday that Barmore did not practice due to illness and added that he had not heard anything that would keep either player from the game. Asked whether he was disappointed by the distractions surrounding Barmore and Diggs, Vrabel said: I would say not disappointing at all. I think that these are allegations. It's things that we have to handle. Every day there are distractions, some are smaller than others."
Christian Barmore, 26, faces a misdemeanor domestic assault charge from an alleged Aug. 8 incident in Mansfield, Massachusetts, involving a woman he was dating. The alleged victim told police she tried to leave after an argument when Barmore allegedly grabbed and threw her to the floor. A criminal complaint was issued Dec. 16 and an arraignment is scheduled for Feb. 3. The Patriots said they were aware at the time, informed the NFL, and will monitor the legal process and cooperate with the league. Head coach Mike Vrabel said Barmore missed practice due to illness and that he had heard nothing that would keep either player from the game.
