New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel is showing his support for Stefon Diggs and Christian Barmore , as both players are dealing with legal issues. While speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Vrabel was asked about his thoughts on both players while the team prepares for the final game of the regular season and the playoffs.

“We understand there are allegations. We also want to support each and every player, each and every coach,” Mike Vrabel said, per Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network.“Haven’t heard anything that would keep either player from the game. “I’m confident that we will be able to focus on the Dolphins and those two individuals will be able to handle the ongoing legal process.”

Stefon Diggs faces charges of felony strangulation or suffocation and misdemeanor assault and battery, stemming from an incident that happened on Dec. 2. He is accused of hitting and choking a woman who was working as his personal chef. Diggs is scheduled to appear in court on Friday, Jan. 23, for his arraignment. That date is two days before the AFC Championship game.
