Making the win even more impressive was the fact that it came without one of their best players, cornerback Christian Gonzalez. Early in training camp, Gonzalez suffered a hamstring injury, and he hasn’t taken the practice field for the Patriots since then. As he seemingly closes in on a return to the field, Gonzalez sent a strong four-word message on social media recently. #Patriots CB Christian Gonzalez via Instagram:“🙏🏽 New Week New Blessings ✨”I really hope he is back for Week 3…. All eyes will be on Gonzalez throughout the week to see if he can find his way back on the practice field for the Patriots.
