Chicago Bears: Patriots star hit with illness right before ‘TNF’ game
The New England Patriots have a complication with their defense just hours before getting set to take on the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field for “Thursday Night Football” in Week 7.
With ticket prices reaching historical levels for the Bears, the contest between 4-2 New England and 4-2 Chicago is critical for both teams trying to stay in the race for their respective division. The Patriots could be down a star for the contest.
Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Patriots downgraded cornerback Christian Gonzalez to questionable to play the Bears due to an illness.
Gonzalez, who inked a record four-year, $135 million contract this summer, is a key player on the Patriots defense. He has 14 tackles and five passes defensed through six games this season.
The situation with Gonzalez and the Patriots is reminiscent of what the Dallas Cowboys dealt with when cornerback Joey Porter Jr. dealt with an illness right before their Week 4 “Thursday Night Football” game with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Porter was ruled out of the contest after throwing up.
(Updated): The Patriots did not make make Gonzalez inactive.
Chicago Bears aware of danger Christian Gonzalez brings
Earlier this week, Bears head coach Ben Johnson praised the Patriots defense, noting the front seven is talented. He noted the Bears have to be aware of their former safety Kevin Byard III, and must know where Gonzalez will be at all times when he’s on the field.
“I love Kevin Byard and what he brings to the table,” Johnson said, via the Bears’ website. “You can tell he really fits their defense well in terms of the communication and what they’re asking him to do. Christian Gonzalez on the outside, just trying to figure out where he’ll be and where he’ll line up.
But all those guys, they’re fundamentally sound, they tackle really well, they shed blocks really well and then, schematically, they try to take away what you do best. That’s the challenge.”
It remains to be seen if Gonzalez will play against the Bears or if he will be as effective while battling the illness.
