What happened: Mike Vrabel addresses reporters at noon Monday, with the locker room opening at 12:15 p.m. before New England's first non-walkthrough practice since Sept. 7, set for 1:10 p.m. The roster now carries three players surnamed Jones — DaQuan, Dre'Mont and Marcus — tying the Broncos for the NFL's most on one team.
Why it matters: New England sits 0-1 to open the season, level with Miami at the bottom of the AFC East while Buffalo and the Jets each start 1-0. Wire Report has reported DaQuan Jones' deal carries a $3.5 million base as part of a contract worth up to $6 million.
By the numbers: AFC East: Bills 1-0, Jets 1-0, Patriots 0-1, Dolphins 0-1.
What to watch: Vrabel speaks to reporters at noon before the Patriots take the practice field at 1:10 p.m.
