Ever since New England Patriots star cornerback Christian Gonzalez suffered a hamstring injury in late July, there’s been little indication that he’s been ready to return to the field.
Patriots fans finally learned on Friday that the team will be without the 2023 first-round pick in Week 1 when the team plays the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.
Not only that, but first-round rookie offensive tackle Will Campbell is being listed as questionable for the contest, after popping up on the injury report on Thursday due to an ankle issue.
“Mike Vrabel rules CB Christian Gonzalez (hamstring) out for the season opener,” ESPN’s Mike Reiss posted on Bluesky.
