Patriots All-Pro Out for Season Opener Against Raiders

The New England Patriots will be without their top player on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders. Second-team All-Pro cornerback Christian Gonzalez will miss the game with a hamstring injury.

Gonzalez has been sidelined since July 28 and hasn’t practiced since, according to The Athletic’s Chad Graff.

“It just hasn’t gone — again, he’s working hard, and whether it’s — we can say one injury is going to be three to four weeks, one is going to be one to two. Everybody heals differently,” Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel told reporters this week.
