Mike Vrabel doesn't want to see his Patriots players fight in training camp -- even though he fought in his very first padded practice as a player nearly 30 years ago.

FOXBOROUGH — In his first padded practice as an NFL player in 1997, Mike Vrabel said he fought tight end Mitch Lyons at Pittsburgh Steelers training camp. With almost 30 more years of age and experience, Vrabel wants his current players to avoid punching their teammates.

New England Patriots' head coach Mike Vrabel confirmed when speaking to media Friday morning the Patriots would have conversations about bringing recently released former first round pick Christian Wilkins to New England.
