Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez left Sunday’s game against the Cowboys after suffering an upper-body injury during the first quarter.
Gonzalez tackled Cowboys running back Tony Pollard and appeared to land awkwardly on his right arm.
Gonzalez immediately grabbed the arm in pain. He was able to leave the field on his own, and eventually headed to the locker room for further evaluations. He is questionable to return, according to the Patriots.
The injury comes days after Gonzalez was named the NFL’s Defensive Rookie of the Month for September. The first-rounder from Oregon got off to a sizzling start, recording his first career sack and interception over his first three games.
