Veteran NFL reporter sidelined during review
Reporter, coach photographed at Sedona resort
The New York Times Company is reviewing coverage by NFL reporter Dianna Russini involving New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel after photos of the two together at an Arizona resort prompted internal concern, ESPN reported Friday citing people familiar with the matter.
Russini, who works for The Times-owned The Athletic, has been sidelined while the review is ongoing, a source said.
The images, published this week by the New York Post’s Page Six, show Russini and Vrabel together at a luxury hotel in Sedona, including by a pool, in a hot tub and on a rooftop deck. Some appear to show the pair embracing and holding hands.
