FOXBOROUGH – Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez left Sunday’s 16-3 win against the Chargers in the fourth quarter with a head injury.
The Patriots initially ruled him as questionable to return before downgrading him to out.
Head coach Mike Vrabel was not asked about Gonzalez’s status after the game, and Gonzalez did not speak at the podium. The Boston Herald’s Zach Cox reports that Gonzalez said he felt “fine” after the game.
The Pro Bowl cornerback blanketed Los Angeles’s receivers on Sunday. According to Next Gen Stats, only five of the Chargers’ passing attempts targeted Gonzalez and none were completed.
