Patriots Tab 3 Players to Aid in Replacing Christian Gonzalez vs. Bills

The New England Patriots plan to use Charles Woods, Marcus Jones, and rookie Karon Prunty to replace cornerback Christian Gonzalez against the Buffalo Bills. Head coach Mike Vrabel confirmed that Gonzalez is ruled out for Sunday's game due to a shoulder injury sustained during a Week 3 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Gonzalez's injury comes shortly after signing a four-year, $135 million extension. The Patriots' secondary faces a tough challenge against quarterback Josh Allen and an undefeated Bills offense, with Woods expected to see substantial outside snaps alongside Jones and Prunty.
