One of the most shocking developments at New England Patriots training camp has been the benching of safety Kyle Dugger.
Dugger, who has started 65 games for the Patriots since entering the league in 2020, is no longer a starter on New England’s defense. The 29-year-old has been taking second-team reps at practice and seems to be the No.4 safety on the depth chart behind Jabrill Peppers, Jaylinn Hawkins, and rookie Craig Woodson.
With Dugger falling down the depth chart at safety, head coach Mike Vrabel isn’t ruling out the possibility of moving the veteran to linebacker.
