What Mike Vrabel said about Kyle Dugger working with the backups in practice
Briefly

Kyle Dugger, veteran safety for the Patriots, is experiencing reduced practice reps with the first team following his significant contract extension worth up to $66 million. During a recent practice, Coach Mike Vrabel emphasized the importance of Dugger understanding coverage concepts and progressing to potentially regain his starting position. The safety position for the Patriots is competitive, with Jaylinn Hawkins earning praise for his performance and communication, contributing to the dynamics between starters and backups.
Just making sure that he's where he needs to be and understanding the coverage concepts and everything we do. Keep working and keep progressing.
I think he's done a nice job of coming in, communicating and playing pretty much all the different techniques that we've asked these guys to do on the back end.
