Through 10 games, the New England Patriots have been extremely fortunate not to lose a key starter to a long-term injury.
The Patriots did navigate their first three games of 2025 without No. 1 cornerback Christian Gonzalez, but since his season debut in Week 4, they haven’t lost a game.
New England was able to beat both the Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers without No. 2 wide receiver Kayshon Boutte, and top running back Rhamondre Stevenson; fortunately, the Patriots had enough depth at those positions to not skip a beat in those games.
That could change this week.
