Vrabel on Gonzalez: 'Physically Unavailable'
14 Aug
Summary
- Cornerback Christian Gonzalez missed practice and a game.
- Coach Vrabel cited physical unavailability as the reason.
- Absence occurs amid contract extension talks and prior injury.

Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez was recently declared physically unavailable for practice and a preseason game against the Colts. This marks the first time Gonzalez has missed practice this summer, following a hard fall during a drill. His absence has intensified speculation, particularly as it occurs during ongoing contract extension negotiations.
Head coach Mike Vrabel clarified Gonzalez's status post-game, stating he was 'physically unavailable' and that other players were in a similar treatment category. The team will update Gonzalez's status in the coming days. Any extended absence will prompt further questions regarding the reasons for his physical unavailability.
