Coach Mike Vrabel said Monday that Gonzalez (hamstring) will not practice this week and has been ruled out for Thursday's preseason finale against the Giants, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez has essentially missed the entirety of training camp and the preseason after going down in one of the team's initial camp practices last month. The Patriots' No. 1 cover corner has a little less than three weeks to get ready for Week 1 against the Raiders on Sept. 7.

Gonzalez (leg) will not participate in practice this week, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez doesn't appear a candidate to retake the field in time to play Saturday, Aug. 16 against the Vikings, which will be New England's second preseason game. If that's the case, his final chance to log preseason action will come Thursday, Aug. 21 against the Giants. The 2023 first-round pick is recovering from a left leg injury sustained earlier in training camp.

Head coach Mike Vrabel told reporters Wednesday that he expects Gonzalez (leg) to be out of practice for the rest of the week, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez is set to be limited to sideline work with trainers for the rest of the week while recovering from a left leg injury that he suffered during Monday's training camp practice. That does put the 2023 first-rounder on track to be healthy for the Patriots' preseason opener against the Commanders on Aug. 8, though it's unclear how many snaps will play. In Gonzalez's absence, Alex Austin, Marcellas Dial and Marcus Jones should see more work at outside outside corner with the first-team defense.

Gonzalez (leg) did not participate in Tuesday's training camp practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez was held out of Tuesday's session after injuring his left leg during team drills Monday. He was spotted near the end of Tuesday's practice with a compression sleeve on his leg, and the Patriots are treating the injury as "day-to-day," per Karen Guregian of MassLive.com. Gonzalez's absence gives Marcus Jones, Alex Austin and Marcellas Dial the opportunity to get more reps at outside corner with the first-team defense.

Gonzalez left Monday's training camp practice due to a left leg injury, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez suffered the injury during team drills while covering veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs. Gonzalez was able to walk to the athletic training tent under his own power but was unable to return, putting his availability over the next few days into question. Alex Austin and Marcus Jones would be slated to see more reps at outside corner if Gonzalez were to be sidelined.

Gonzalez (concussion) was an active participant as the Patriots' OTAs got underway Tuesday, Chad Graff of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez ended the 2024 campaign on the sidelines with a concussion, but he now appears to be fully healthy ahead of the 2025 season. The cornerback has blossomed into being one of the best at his position in the league, recording 59 total tackles (50 solo), 11 passes defensed, two of which were interceptions, and a fumble recovery over 16 regular-season contests in 2024.

Gonzalez (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez was concussed in last Saturday's loss to the Chargers and will miss the season finale after starting the first 16 games of the year. The second-year cornerback wraps up the 2024 campaign with 59 tackles (50 solo), 11 pass breakups, including two interceptions, and one fumble recovery, which he returned for a touchdown in Week 12 versus Miami.

Gonzalez (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez sustained a concussion in the second quarter of New England's Week 17 loss the Chargers, so Wednesday's DNP comes as no surprise. The second-year corner from Oregon likely needs to upgrade to at least limited practice participation Thursday or Friday in order to play in the Patriots' regular-season finale against the Bills on Sunday. If Gonzalez is unable to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in time to play in Week 18, Alex Austin will likely see additional snaps with New England's first-team defense.

Gonzalez will not return to Saturday's game versus the Chargers due to a concussion.

EDGE Analysis

The injury occurred during the second quarter of Saturday's contest. Gonzalez recorded one solo tackle before exiting. In his absence, Alex Austin figures to be next in line at cornerback opposite Jonathan Jones, while Marcellas Dial could also see increased snaps.

Gonzalez (shoulder) was deemed active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez dealt with a shoulder injury that kept him limited during practice Wednesday through Friday. Nevertheless, the second-year pro will suit up and continue to serve as New England's top cornerback. Across 13 appearances this season, Gonzalez has accrued 55 tackles and eight passes defended, including two interceptions and a pick-six.
