According to the Globe, a source said Belichick's message "was definitely sent" and that Revis accepted responsibility for his actions. 

In 2009, Belichick sent four players home after they arrived late in a snowstorm. 

Revis signed a two-year, $32 million deal with New England in March after being released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The veteran has 23 tackles, four passes defended, one interception and one forced fumble in seven games this season.
