Patriots vs. Raiders Friday injury report: Christian Gonzalez, Carlton Davis III among six ruled out

The New England Patriots will be missing six key players against the Las Vegas Raiders in Sunday's matchup. Christian Gonzalez and Carlton Davis III, both perimeter starters, are among the injured. Fullback Reggie Gilliam, wide receiver Mack Hollins, cornerbacks Karon Prunty and Channing Canada are also ruled out due to injuries.

Coach Mike Vrabel announced that they will make roster adjustments to have 48 players ready for the game. Gonzalez has missed six consecutive practices due to a shoulder injury and will miss his second game. Davis has been sidelined with a neck injury since last Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills. Prunty and Canada are also out with hamstring issues.

Veteran fullback Gilliam and wide receiver Hollins are also absent. Rookie cornerback Rhamondre Stevenson's status remains uncertain, but he has practiced in a limited capacity. The Patriots currently have one open spot on their 53-man roster, which will be filled by Brenden Schooler, who has progressed from the non-football injury list to full participation.
