Gonzalez (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports. 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. 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. 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. 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.
Gonzalez (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals. Gonzalez practiced in a limited fashion throughout the week due to a shoulder injury following the Patriots' Week 14 bye. The Oregon product has been productive in his second year in the NFL, recording 55 total tackles and eight passes defended, including two interceptions, in 13 appearances this season. If Gonzalez is sidelined for the first time this season in Week 15, expect Alex Austin to serve as one of the Patriots' top outside cornerbacks.
Gonzalez (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. Gonzalez was dealing with a hip injury ahead of the Patriots' Week 14 bye, so this appears to be a new injury for the team's top cornerback. He'll have two more practice days to get in some reps ahead of Sunday's date with Marvin Harrison and the Cardinals.
Gonzalez recorded six tackles (five solo) and an interception during Sunday's 25-24 loss versus the Colts. Gonzalez sped all the way from one set of numbers to the other to jump in front of an Alec Pierce crossing route in the fourth quarter and collect his second interception of the season in Week 13. He'll be looking to continue to bolster his case for an All-Pro selection after the Patriots' bye in Week 14.
Gonzalez (hip) is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. The cornerback appeared on the injury report Friday with the hip issue, but it was never considered serious. The 2023 first-round pick has 46 tackles (39 solo) and six passes defensed, including an interception, this season.
Gonzalez (hip) is listed as questionable but is considered likely to play in Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Gonzalez didn't appear on the Patriots' Week 12 injury report until he was added Friday due to the hip issue, which limited his participation in Friday's session. The hip injury apparently isn't viewed as a big concern, and if Gonzalez is active for the contest as expected, he likely won't face any restrictions with his snap count. The second-year player is beginning to build a reputation as one of the top cover corners in the league, and his availability for Sunday will be vital as the Patriots look to slow down standout Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill.
