He'll have two more chances to return to practice this week, but if he cannot play against the Bills this Sunday, then Charles Wood figures to be the top candidate to start at outside cornerback opposite Carlton Davis.

Patriots' Christian Gonzalez: Breaks up two passes in loss
Christian Gonzalez recorded two solo tackles and two pass breakups in Wednesday's 13-10 loss to the Seahawks.On the same week that he became the highest-paid cornerback in NFL history with a four-year, $135 million extension, Gonzalez proved deserving of the honor by allowing just two catches for nine yards across the five passes on which he was targeted. Unfortunately for fantasy owners, the 24-year-old's penchant for blanket coverage might also limit his chances to put IDP stats on the board, as evidenced by his line Wednesday night. The 2023 first-round pick has just three interceptions across his first 35 career regular-season games.
