NextImg:Patriots top rookie Christian Gonzalez seemingly avoids serious injury

The injury Patriots rookie cornerback Christian Gonzalez suffered Wednesday in practice does not appear overly serious based on how he was moving in Friday night’s pregame warmups.

Gonzalez didn’t appear to have any limitations while stretching with his teammates before Friday’s preseason finale against the Tennessee Titans.

The 2023 first-round pick landed awkwardly while attempting to defend a completion from quarterback Bailey Zappe to undrafted rookie Thyrick Pitts at the end of Wednesday’s final training camp practice.

Gonzalez had his left foot or ankle tended to by trainers during the final minutes of practice. He walked off of the practice field under his own power but didn’t look comfortable doing so.

The Patriots need Gonzalez healthy for Week 1. He’s projected to start alongside Jonathan Jones in the Patriots’ secondary. The third cornerback spot appears likely to come down to Jack Jones or Marcus Jones, both 2022 mid-round picks.

Jack Jones’ availability is up in the air as he faces gun charges. The 2022 fourth-round pick said this week that he hasn’t heard from the league about a possible suspension and that he’s hopeful to be ready Week 1.

The Patriots’ other cornerbacks Myles Bryant, rookies Ameer Speed and Isaiah Bolden, Shaun Wade, Quandre Mosely and Rodney Randle. Bolden is in concussion protocol after he was carted off of the field on a backboard Week 2 of the preseason.
