The New England Patriots have multiple key players listed as questionable for their Week 15 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.
Initially, there was some positive news on the injury front with rookie offensive tackle Caedan Wallace returning to practice on Wednesday. However, coach Jerod Mayo said on Friday that he didn’t expect Wallace to be ready in time to return against the Cardinals.
Guard Cole Strange is also listed as questionable to play. He is still working his way back into the thick of things after returning from a serious knee injury.
One of the more concerning names to pop up on the injury report is cornerback Christian Gonzalez, who has established himself as one of the best corners in the league. His potential absence would be a huge blow to the defensive secondary.
