Foxboro – Patriot’s top defender Christian Gonzalez will come to the team this week for joint practices in Minnesota with the Vikings, but does not expect him to participate.
Gonzalez sustained a hamstring injury at the end of last month at the end of last month at the end of last month and the team took it slowly with his return the field.
“Before you think I’m funny, you will probably see Christian in Minnesota, you won’t see him on the field, probably in a uniform,” said head coach Mike Vrabel on Sunday. “Do you see how I did that? You see him in Minnesota, but he will probably not practice this week. Because if I didn’t, it would be like:” Oh, he is “. But anyway, I wanted to clarify that.”
Gonzalez is one of the best cornerbacks in football, so it is more important for him to be week 1 against the Raiders than for him to participate in joint practices or pre -season matches.
Gonzalez’s colleague -starting cornerback Carlton Davis III returned to practice on Sunday and participated in team exercises. Vrabel said, “You will see him in Minnesota.”
The right Tackle Morgan Moses, who goes back to the team this summer while he is recovering from an injury, also participated in the training of Sunday and will also be in Minnesota. Rookie Marcus Bryant started in his place in the Friday match against the commanders.
Vrabel said he feels good about the path that is Moses in his recovery.
Wide recipient Ja’lynn Polk, a pick from the second round of 2024 to compete for a schedule place, did not make a Friday opener on Friday against the commanders. He will not travel to Minnesota, by Vrabel.
Patriots wide recipients Stefon Diggs, Demario Douglas, Mack Hollins, Kayshon Boutte and Rookie Kyle Williams are seen as selection locks. If the Patriots choose to keep six or seven broad recipients, Polk would compete for a place with colleague 2024 Draft Pick Javon Baker, veteran Kendrick Bourne and unknown Rookie Efton Chism. Bourne also has to do with an injury, while Chism made a strong push for a schedule spot last week.
Chism led the Patriots in receptions and received recruiting in the Friday game match and then followed that with a striking version in Sunday’s training. Baker has etched a role in special teams that can also help him lock a schedule.
Also in the training of Sunday, Patriots were also missing Rhamondre Stevenson, Linebacker Jahlani Tavai, safety Josh Minkins and external Linebacker Elijah Ponder.
