Patriots star cornerback Christian Gonzalez limped off the practice field Monday after he suffered an apparent leg injury in the team's first padded-practice of training camp. The severity of his injury has yet to be determined.

With Gonzalez and Carlton Davis out, the Patriots moved up players such as Alex Austin, Marcus Jones, Marcellus Dial, and D.J. James in the cornerback rotation. Austin, who started camp as the top outside backup, has been with the starters with Davis and Gonzalez absent.

The team experienced a scare with All-Pro cornerback Christian Gonzalez, who went down during Monday's practice. More news: Bears HC Ben Johnson Speaks Out Amid Concerns With Offense Gonzalez left practice early with what appeared to be a significant leg injury.
