Christian Gonzalez ruled out for Week 1 matchup with Las Vegas Raiders due to injury

New England Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez will miss the season opener against the Las Vegas Raiders due to a hamstring injury, delaying his 2025 debut. A former standout at Oregon, he was drafted 17th overall and had a strong rookie season before injuries cut it short; his absence will see Alex Austin starting alongside Carlton Davis III as the Patriots aim for a better season after a 4-13 record last year.
