Christian Gonzalez to Miss Joint Practice with Eagles

The New England Patriots will conduct a joint practice with the Philadelphia Eagles on Wednesday, but cornerback Christian Gonzalez will not be participating.

Head coach Mike Vrabel confirmed that Gonzalez has been sidelined for over a week due to an injury. While Vrabel has clarified that the absence is not related to a contract dispute, details regarding the specific nature of the injury remain unclear.

There was speculation that a recent contract extension for Devon Witherspoon with the Seahawks might influence Gonzalez's situation, but no agreement has been reached yet, and it is uncertain when he will return to practice.
