Roster cuts concluded and the Patriots resumed practice Thursday to prepare for a Week 1 home opener on September 7 against the Raiders. Cornerback Christian Gonzalez has been absent from practice for nearly a month after sustaining an injury, and reporters observed him not participating during a recent practice session. The prolonged absence has raised concerns about his availability for the regular-season opener. The team has been cautious with top players to avoid preseason injuries, and staff may be limiting Gonzalez's practice reps to protect his long-term health and ensure readiness for the season.
