\"Patriots'<\/p>\n

New England Patriots\u00a0coach Mike Vrabel appears to be losing patience with the team’s biggest offseason acquisition, Stefon Diggs.<\/p>\n

Vrabel was asked yesterday about Diggs’ recent comments, in which the receiver refused to commit to playing in Week 1. Vrabel bristled at the question, asking the reporter, “Do you really think he was serious?”<\/p>\n

That same reporter, NBC Sports Boston beat writer Phil Perry, suspects that Vrabel is growing tired of having to answer for Diggs’ comments, as the receiver attempts to ramp up after offseason surgery to repair his ACL.<\/p>\n

Per: @NBCSBoston<\/a> <\/p>\n

\u201cThere are little signs that he\u2019s just becoming a bit of a pain in the posterior.\u201d <\/p>\n

"It all sort of adds up to, there's a lot going on with this guy for a guy who doesn't look like a No. 1 receiver anymore," \ud83d\ude33 pic.twitter.com\/QGeLZnm42j<\/a><\/p>\n
