Christian Gonzalez Misses Second Consecutive Practice With Shoulder Injury

New England Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez missed his second practice of the week on Thursday due to a shoulder injury. Gonzalez sustained the issue after a physical stop in the first quarter of last week's loss to the Jaguars, though he went on to play 52 of 59 defensive snaps. Back-to-back practice absences have now followed for the All-Pro corner, who closed September with eight tackles and five passes defensed, threatening his status for Sunday against Buffalo.
