Patriots coach Mike Vrabel does about-face on TreVeyon Henderson's activism after Russini scandal

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel has softened his stance on running back TreVeyon Henderson’s social activism since April, when he cautioned the player to remember that he represents the team.

Vrabel was asked Friday about Henderson’s defense of a Massachusetts couple who say they lost custody of their daughter to DCF after refusing to allow her to transition to a boy.

Authorities have made it clear that the issue had to do with allegations of abuse by the couple, although they have not been convicted of any crime.
