Patriots star defensive back Christian Gonzalez won’t see the practice field at Gillette Stadium until at least early August as he recovers from a hamstring injury. Coach Mike Vrabel said on Wednesday that he doesn’t expect Gonzalez to be on the field for the rest of the week.

New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel commented on Christian Gonzalez's injury status and the projected recovery time.

The Patriots’ other projected starting cornerback, Carlton Davis, has yet to fully participate in a practice since camp began. The nature and severity of Davis’ injury were unclear as of Wednesday. Before one practice last week, Vrabel said the offseason signing would be sidelined for a “maintenance day.”
