During a training camp session, Patriots coach Mike Vrabel was injured when he became involved in a physical pile-up between players. After the incident, he humorously remarked to a player about the situation. The skirmish arose during a passing play involving running back TreVeyon Henderson. Quarterback Drake Maye discussed the confrontational nature of the game, emphasizing the balance between playing intensely and avoiding fights. Unlike previous seasons, the Patriots showed resilience and fight during this practice against the Commanders.
"I think pass pro gets physical. It's a man's game and things happen out there ... there's a time where obviously you don't want to go out there and fight and get in trouble but you also don't want to back down from nobody."
"Somebody was saying it was like the [President} Trump gunshot wound, so I was laughing at that," quarterback Drake Maye said.
"Hey, you should have seen the other guy," Vrabel joked, in response to DeMario Douglas asking about the incident that led to his injury.
Vrabel showed 'grit' and 'tenacity' by jumping into the fray, according to former Patriots defensive lineman Deatrich Wise Jr.
