Patriots’ Christian Gonzalez Questionable vs. Steelers, Game-Time Decision for Week 3

His limited return to practice offers a potential boost for a secondary that has allowed an NFL-worst 315 passing yards per game.

Overview

  • Head coach Mike Vrabel said Friday that Gonzalez, Keion White and Jack Westover are listed as questionable with no other injury designations.
  • Gonzalez participated on a limited basis in all three practices this week and will be evaluated closer to kickoff.
  • This was his first week back since a July 28 hamstring injury suffered during the first padded practice of training camp.
  • New England has yielded 13 pass plays of 20-plus yards through two games, underscoring the importance of his availability.
  • Kickoff is Sunday at 1 p.m. ET at Gillette Stadium, with depth options such as Alex Austin having handled starting snaps in his absence.
