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.

Patriots star cornerback Christian Gonzalez did not take the practice field behind Gillette Stadium on Tuesday, one day after he left training camp with an apparent leg injury.

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.
