The Patriots added to their secondary this offseason by signing former Detroit Lions defensive back Carlton Davis III, but he too has missed time this summer due to injury. The absence of their top two corners has forced the likes of Alex Austin, Marcus Jones, and Marcellas Dial into prominent action on New England's top defense.

FOXBOROUGH - Christian Gonzalez is dealing with a left hamstring injury, a source confirmed to MassLive. As for a timeline for the star’s return, that’s up in the air at this stage. The Patriots are going to take it ‘day by day’ with their top corner, per source.

New England Patriots' star cornerback Christian Gonzalez left Monday morning's practice with a hamstring injury, but all signs point to him being available for week one of the regular season.
