Christian Gonzalez injury: Patriots CB ruled out for Week 1 matchup against Raiders due to hamstring

Christian Gonzalez, a 2024 second-team All-Pro, has missed all practices since his July 28 hamstring injury and will not play in the Patriots' Week 1 opener, coach Mike Vrabel confirmed.

  • On September 5, 2025, Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel announced Christian Gonzalez is ruled out for Sunday's opener against the Las Vegas Raiders due to a lingering hamstring injury.
  • The hamstring issue traces to practice work on July 28, when Christian Gonzalez sustained the injury covering a pass route, causing him to miss most of training camp and the preseason.
  • Veteran Carlton Davis III will likely slide into the top outside role; the Patriots also have Alex Austin, Marcus Jones and cornerback Charles Woods available as fill-ins, with Woods appearing on track to debut.
  • With Gonzalez out, the team will rely on Marcus Jones and rookies in coverage, and rookie first-round offensive tackle Will Campbell is questionable for Sunday's opener due to an ankle issue.
  • Albert Breer flagged renewed durability concerns for Christian Gonzalez, whose contract extension eligibility after the 2025 season raises stakes amid past injuries and limited practice.
