Vrabel Clarifies Gonzalez's Absence from Practice

Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez was recently unavailable for practice and the team's game against the Colts on Thursday night. This marked his first missed practice of the summer, occurring after a hard fall during a recent drill. It also comes as contract negotiations are ongoing.

Head coach Mike Vrabel addressed the situation, stating that Gonzalez was "physically unavailable" for practice. Vrabel emphasized that Gonzalez was in the same category as several other players who also received treatment and were unavailable for practice, including Christian Elliss, Brenden Schooler, Harold Landry, and Christian Barmore. Gonzalez's practice status will be updated in the coming days.
