"The Raiders are coming to town with a new head coach (Pete Carroll) and a new quarterback (Geno Smith) as they give this New England secondary its first test of the season. Smith led the Seahawks to a Week 2 overtime win over the Patriots at Gillette Stadium last season, posting 327 yards and a touchdown with no turnovers on 33 of 44 passing."
"Vrabel also announced that rookie left tackle Will Campbell is questionable with an ankle injury. Campbell was a limited participant at practice on Friday. Defensive tackle Christian Barmore has been limited during the past two practices. The Patriots did not list his status on the injury report. They did mention that the limits on Barmore's practice availability were not related to an injury."
Christian Gonzalez will miss Sunday's season opener against the Raiders because of a hamstring injury; he has not practiced since July 28. Alex Austin and Marcus Jones are expected to see action in the cornerback rotation, along with offseason signing Carlton Davis and training camp standout DJ James. Rookie left tackle Will Campbell is listed questionable with an ankle injury after limited participation at practice. Defensive tackle Christian Barmore has been limited in recent practices, though the team said those limits are unrelated to an injury.
