"Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel was back in the swing of things on Monday morning after his team was idle on Sunday (having already achieved a Week 11 win against the Jets on Thursday). Vrabel, now leading a team that has a 9-2 record and a share of the top spot in the AFC, told WEEI's " The Greg Hill Show " that he wants to avoid seeing any additional lapses from the Patriots down the stretch."
"Looking ahead to the matchup, he said that minus Milton Williams (recently added to the Injured Reserve), several players who have been out are expected to be back at practice after the rest. "Hopefully. I expect to see them at practice today," Vrabel said of those who appeared on the Week 11 injury report. "So once they get through that we'll move on to Wednesday and see how they progress through the week.""
Mike Vrabel returned to work Monday after an idle Sunday following a Week 11 win over the Jets. The Patriots hold a 9-2 record and share the AFC's top spot. Vrabel emphasized avoiding late-season lapses and instituted a "No naps" approach to keep players focused. The roster received rest over the weekend, but Vrabel monitored other games and noted the difficulty of juggling multiview TV screens. The Patriots will play the Bengals in Cincinnati at 1 p.m. Several players who had been out are expected to return to practice, while Milton Williams has been placed on injured reserve.
