FOXBOROUGH — A successful turnaround season for the Patriots was marred by a pair of key players on New England’s roster facing criminal charges this week.
News broke on Tuesday morning that star receiver Stefon Diggs is facing several charges, including felony strangulation, for an alleged altercation with his personal chef.
On Wednesday morning, news came to light that defensive tackle Christian Barmore has been charged with domestic assault and battery.
Ahead of Sunday’s regular-season finale against the Dolphins, Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel faced the media Wednesday afternoon, stressing that the team was aware of both incidents and is letting the legal process play out before taking any additional course of action.
