Just hours before Thursday’s preseason game against the Carolina Panthers, news broke that New England Patriots safety Patrick Chung was indicted on a drug charge in New Hampshire for the alleged possession of cocaine. An indictment is of course no determination of guilt, but it creates considerable room for speculation as well as a major topic to discuss considering Chung’s role as one of the leaders on the Patriots defense.
The team itself, however, was not in a mood to talk about the issue following its 10-3 win over the Panthers.
