The New England Patriots ruled out six players for Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders, including cornerbacks Christian Gonzalez and Carlton Davis, according to Boston.com’s report on the Patriots injury report announced Friday by coach Mike Vrabel. The group also includes cornerbacks Channing Canada and Karon Prunty, fullback Reggie Gilliam and wide receiver Mack Hollins.
Running back Rhamondre Stevenson is questionable with a knee injury. He said after practice that he was “Feeling great” and “Ready to go,” but the designation does not confirm whether he will play. The Raiders also ruled out three players and listed running back Ashton Jeanty as questionable.
Patriots Injury Report: Six Players Ruled Out Against the Raiders
All six Patriots designations below were reported Friday ahead of the Sunday matchup. Gonzalez and Davis are among four New England cornerbacks ruled out; Canada and Prunty are the other two. The report does not establish any further lineup or roster changes.
The designations separate the players who have been ruled out from those whose availability remains uncertain. For New England, the six ruled-out players include four cornerbacks and two players at other positions. Stevenson is the only Patriot in the report listed as questionable. That label leaves open whether he will be available, while the ruled-out designation means the six players in that group will not play Sunday.
The reported injury information and status for each player are summarized below. The table reflects the Friday report, rather than a later update or a final list of game-day participants. It includes the Raiders’ three ruled-out players and Jeanty’s questionable designation as well as the Patriots’ names and statuses.
Cornerback Absences and Other Patriots Players Out
Gonzalez was listed with a shoulder injury, while Davis was listed with a neck injury. Canada and Prunty were both listed with hamstring injuries, leaving four Patriots cornerbacks on the Friday ruled-out list.
The report identifies Gonzalez and Davis by name among the unavailable cornerbacks, along with Canada and Prunty. It does not say that any one player will take another’s place, give a revised depth chart, or describe how New England will arrange its defensive personnel. Those details cannot be determined from the injury designations alone.
Gonzalez did not take part in practice on Wednesday, according to the source report. That practice note is a separate detail from the Friday announcement: Vrabel announced the six ruled-out players on Friday, and Gonzalez’s Wednesday absence was noted in the report. The available information does not provide further practice updates for the other cornerbacks or describe the specific status of their injuries beyond the designations and injury listings.
Gilliam was listed with ankle and knee injuries, and Hollins with a calf injury. The Friday report identifies their designations and reported injuries but does not provide additional details about potential replacements.
Rhamondre Stevenson Injury Status: Running Back Questionable
Stevenson was listed as questionable with a knee injury. His designation does not confirm whether he will play.
The running back had been limited earlier in the week, and he was banged up in the Patriots’ win over the Bills the previous Sunday, according to the report. Those details provide the context for the knee listing, but the source does not describe a diagnosis, the severity of the injury, or a change to his status beyond the questionable designation.
After practice, Stevenson offered an upbeat assessment, saying, “Feeling great” and “Ready to go.” His comments do not change his questionable designation or confirm his game-day availability. The report records both his comments and the team’s listing; neither establishes whether he will be active on Sunday.
For that reason, the distinction between his status and those of the six ruled-out Patriots matters. Stevenson remains a possible participant based on the Friday designation, but his remarks are not an announcement that he will play. The Friday report does not give a final game-day decision for him.
Raiders Injury Report: Three Out, Ashton Jeanty Questionable
Las Vegas ruled out wide receivers Jalen Nailor, who was listed with a concussion, and Dont’e Thornton, who was listed with a hamstring injury. Guard Trey Zuhn was ruled out with a knee injury.
The Raiders’ report therefore includes two wide receivers and one guard among the players ruled out. The same Friday update lists Jeanty separately as questionable, rather than ruled out. The information provided does not identify replacements for Nailor, Thornton, or Zuhn, or spell out how Las Vegas will adjust its lineup.
Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty was listed as questionable with knee and foot injuries after not practicing Friday. His designation, like Stevenson’s, is not confirmation that he will be active or inactive for the game. The report gives the practice note and the status, but does not supply a later decision about his availability.
These are Friday’s reported designations and could be subject to change; they should not be treated as final game-day availability for players listed as questionable. The injury updates are attributed to Boston.com’s report.
