New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel commented on Christian Gonzalez's injury status and the projected recovery time.

Despite the ominous report, the Patriots have received a major update on the All-Pro corner. According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, sources have told him that Gonzalez suffered a hamstring injury, but that will not impact his ability to start in Week 1. That is massive news for the Patriots, especially with how impactful Gonzalez has been.

The Patriots added to their secondary this offseason by signing former Detroit Lions defensive back Carlton Davis III, but he too has missed time this summer due to injury. The absence of their top two corners has forced the likes of Alex Austin, Marcus Jones, and Marcellas Dial into prominent action on New England's top defense.
