Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said that Gonzalez (hamstring) won't practice Wednesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Gonzalez hasn't practiced since sustaining a hamstring injury in late July, though he'll work off to the side during Wednesday's session. The third-year cornerback from Oregon was a standout in coverage in 2024, recording 59 total tackles and nine passes defensed across 16 games. If he's unable to suit up for Sunday's season opener versus the Raiders, Alex Austin could be called upon to start opposite Carlton Davis in the New England secondary.
