Key Points:
- New England Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez missed both Tuesday’s joint practice with the Colts and Thursday’s preseason opener due to a physical issue, according to head coach Mike Vrabel.
- Gonzalez sustained a hard fall during Monday’s training camp while contesting a jump ball but did not appear to suffer a major injury.
- He is currently in the fourth year of his rookie contract and engaged in contract negotiations, with expectations that he may reset the cornerback market.
- Prior to Tuesday’s absence, Gonzalez had been a full participant in training camp after limited involvement during mandatory minicamp earlier in the spring.
- Other players, including Christian Elliss, Brenden Schooler, Harold Landry, and Christian Barmore, were also sidelined for treatment alongside Gonzalez.
