On Wednesday, he failed to attend the Patriots' organized team activities, fueling speculation that the video might have played a role, especially since Diggs had previously attended other voluntary workouts.
Speaking to reporters before practice on Wednesday, the team's head coach, Vrabel, said the team was 'aware' of the video.
'Obviously, we want to make great decisions on and off the field. We're hoping that, with our time here on the field today, that when we don't have a script and we're on the call periods, that we're making great decisions,' he added.
Vrabel continued: 'The message will be the same for all our players, that we're trying to make great decisions. Any conversations that I've had with Stefon will remain between him, I and the club.'

The Independent has contacted Diggs's representatives for comment.

Before Diggs signed a three-year, $69 million contract with the Patriots in March, he played for the Houston Texans, where he tore his ACL and is still currently recovering.
'The timelines and the prognosis and everything, we're working hard to get him back and to be ready to go. When he's here, we'll coach him, and we'll have him ready to go,' Vrabel said about the injury.
Diggs and rapper Cardi B made their first public appearance together earlier this month.
The 32-year-old 'I Like It' rapper, who's currently engaged in a contentious divorce with Migos rapper Offset, joined diggs at Madison Square Garden to watch the New York Knicks take on the Boston Celtics.

In response to the yacht video, many fans accused Diggs of 'flirting' with the other women on the boat.
'Cardi B's new boyfriend, NFL star Stefon Diggs, is going viral for flirting with other women on the same boat Cardi B was on,' one person captioned a clip of the video on X.
However, other videos showed Cardi B dancing with the same women on the boat.

12 Ukrainian soldiers dead, 60 injured after Russian missile strike on training center
A Russian missile struck a Ukrainian military training ground on the morning of June 1, killing 12 and injuring 60, Ukraine's Land Forces has said. A statement on the attack did not identify the location of the training grounds, nor the specific type of missile used by Russia. "We emphasize that no formations or massive gatherings of personnel were being conducted," the Land Forces press office said in the statement. The authorities say that the bulk of service members present were in air shelters following the alarms that preceded the strike, and that they have assembled a commission to investigate what caused the attack. "In the event of a determination that the action or inaction of responsible individuals led to the death and injury of servicemen, those responsible will be brought to strict accountability," the statement continued. A similar Russian missile attack on a shooting range killed six Ukrainian soldiers in Sumy Oblast late in May.

Brandin Cooks' record-breaking touchdown catch is the Saints Play of the Day
There's a 98-day stretch between us and the start of the New Orleans Saints' 2025 regular season, and we're counting down the days by looking back on some of the most iconic plays in franchise history. This time, our Saints Play of the Day is the 98-yard touchdown pass from Drew Brees to Brandin Cooks back in 2016, which you can watch here. It was a classic grab-and-go reception by Cooks streaking down the left sideline. Brees dropped back to throw from his own end zone and found Cooks in one-on-one coverage against cornerback Sean Smith. Once Cooks put a step on his opponent, he was gone, and safety Reggie Nelson wasn't able to make up the distance in the open field. Advertisement Cooks broke a Saints record that had stood since their inaugural 1967 season on this play, outgaining Walter Roberts' 96-yard catch to achieve the longest play from scrimmage in team history. And he just returned to the Saints this offseason after spending time with the New England Patriots, Los Angeles Rams, Houston Texans, and Dallas Cowboys. They're hoping he can still uncork some big plays downfield like this one. This article originally appeared on Saints Wire: 2025 Saints season countdown: Brandin Cooks' TD is the Play of the Day
