Two Christian starters ruled out for Patriots

Published October 2, 2026 · Updated October 2, 2026 · NBC Sports

The New England Patriots will be missing two key defensive starters in Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills as cornerback Christian Gonzalez and defensive tackle Christian Barmore have been ruled out due to shoulder injuries.

Head coach Mike Vrabel announced during his Friday press conference that both players were unable to practice this week due to their injuries. Gonzalez had been performing well with eight tackles and five passes defensed through the first three games.

With Gonzalez out, Charles Woods is expected to start at cornerback. On the defensive line, Milton Williams, Cory Durden, and Joshua Farmer will take on increased responsibilities in place of Barmore, who recorded four tackles, one sack, and three quarterback hits this season. saltysenoritaaz.com
