Patriots' Christian Gonzalez: Likely done for season
Gonzalez will undergo surgery in the near future to address the torn labrum and dislocated right shoulder he sustained in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys and is likely to miss the remainder of the season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The shoulder injury is a brutal blow for the Patriots, as Gonzalez, the No. 17 overall pick in April's draft, had already gotten off to a strong start to his career with 17 tackles, one sack, three pass breakups and an interception through his first four games. In the coming days, Gonzalez will likely become the fourth Patriots cornerback to hit injured reserve, joining Marcus Jones (shoulder), Jack Jones (hamstring) and Isaiah Bolden (concussion). To address their depleted depth in the secondary, the Patriots struck a deal with the Chargers on Wednesday to acquire veteran J.C. Jackson, who recorded 25 interceptions with New England from 2018 through 2021 but struggled during his one-plus seasons in Los Angeles.

Patriots' Christian Gonzalez: Dealing with torn labrum
Gonzalez is out indefinitely after suffering a torn labrum in his right shoulder during Sunday's 38-3 loss to the Cowboys, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
According to Jeff Howe of The Athletic, Gonzalez also dislocated the shoulder, with the torn labrum detected once he underwent further testing. The Patriots haven't yet offered a clear timeline for Gonzalez's return, but he appears set to miss multiple weeks. The No. 17 overall pick in April's draft had gotten off to a rousing start to his career, earning AFC Defensive Rookie of the Month honors after recording 17 tackles, three pass breakups, one interception and one sack through his first four games.

Patriots' Christian Gonzalez: Expected to miss time
Gonzalez suffered a dislocated shoulder during Sunday's 38-3 loss to the Cowboys, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.
Gonzalez suffered the injury in the first quarter and was unable to return to the game. The rookie corner will undergo further tests to determine the severity of the damage, but he's expected to be looking at a multi-week absence. The news is certainly a blow to New England's secondary, although it's possible that Jonathan Jones (ankle) could return for Week 5 against the Saints, while Jack Jones (hamstring) is eligible to come off IR and return as well.

Patriots' Christian Gonzalez: Won't return against Dallas
Gonzalez (shoulder) will not return against the Cowboys on Sunday.
Gonzalez will miss the remainder of the game after suffering a shoulder injury in the first quarter.

Gonzalez will now focus on getting healthy for next week's matchup against New Orleans.

Patriots' Christian Gonzalez: Suffers shoulder injury Sunday
Gonzalez is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Dallas due to a shoulder injury.
Gonzalez recorded one tackle before leaving the game. Jonathan Jones (ankle) is inactive, so New England has only three healthy cornerbacks if Gonzalez can't return. Jalen Mills, Shaun Wade and Myles Bryant are all candidates for increased snaps.

Patriots' Christian Gonzalez: Productive in loss
Gonzalez recorded six tackles (six solo) and a pass deflection in New England's 24-17 loss to Miami on Sunday.
Gonzalez finished tied for second on the team in tackles while also playing all 63 defensive snaps. The rookie first-round pick has looked impressive across his first two career games, logging 13 tackles, two pass deflections and a sack, and will look to keep up this production against the Jets next week.

Patriots' Christian Gonzalez: Impressive in NFL debut
Gonzalez recorded seven tackles, a pass defensed and a sack in Sunday's 25-20 loss versus the Eagles.
At least early, it appears the Patriots have hit on the 17th overall pick of the 2023 Draft. He nearly came away with an interception on a crucial fourth down with two minutes remaining, but a great rep against DeVonta Smith still gave New England a chance to win the game even though Gonzalez couldn't quite convert the turnover. He'll get another tough test in Week 2 versus Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and the Dolphins.

Patriots' Christian Gonzalez: Looks healthy in practice
Gonzalez (ankle) moved without limitations in practice Wednesday, suggesting that he's over the ankle injury he suffered in practice last week, Mik Reiss of ESPN reports.
Gonzalez got hurt near the end of practice last Wednesday, but he was able to warm up for Friday's preseason finale and looks to be back to full health at this point. The rookie first-round pick is expected to occupy a starting role in New England's secondary from the get-go in the regular season.
