The Patriots reportedly will be without their two most impactful players on defense for the foreseeable future.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, rookie cornerback Christian Gonzalez and veteran linebacker Matthew Judon are both expected to be out indefinitely after getting injured in New England’s 38-3 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday.
Schefter reported that Gonzalez injured his shoulder, while Judon suffered a lower bicep tendon tear against Dallas. Both are seeking second opinions as the Patriots try to regroup what has already been a battered defensive unit ahead of a Week 5 matchup against the Saints.
