Patriots cornerback depth chart, updated ahead of Raiders game
Four of the six cornerbacks on the Patriots roster have been ruled out for Week 5.
The New England Patriots have announced that six players, including their starting cornerbacks Christian Gonzalez and Carlton Davis, will miss their upcoming Week 5 game against the Las Vegas Raiders due to injuries. The affected players are Christian Gonzalez (shoulder), Carlton Davis (neck), Karon Prunty (hamstring), and Channing Canada (hamstring). This leaves the team with only four healthy cornerbacks between their active roster and practice squad.
Marcus Jones and Charles Woods are the only healthy cornerbacks on the 53-man roster, with Jones expected to see significant playing time. However, both players are dealing with injuries. Marcus Jones has a shoulder issue, and Charles Woods is listed as questionable with a shoulder injury from last week's game against the Buffalo Bills.
The team has turned to Kindle Vildor from the practice squad as a potential starter. Additionally, recent addition Al'zillion Hamilton is also expected to see more action on Sunday. The Patriots have begun experimenting with safety Jaylen Reed as a nickel option in practice, which could further impact the depth chart ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders.
