The New England Patriots will host the Pittsburgh Steelers with three questionable.
Cornerback Christian Gonzalez headlines the list shared by head coach Mike Vrabel on Friday. After being sidelined by a hamstring injury since the first padded practice of training camp July, the reigning All-Pro returned for three consecutive sessions as a limited participant. His 2025 debut could be on deck.
Here’s the early game statuses heading into Sunday’s 1 p.m. ET kickoff at Gillette Stadium.

The week in Foxborough
ended with back-to-back days of perfect attendance for an active roster of 52.
QUESTIONABLE
Patriots
- FB Jack Westover (hamstring)
- DE Keion White (illness)

In addition to No. 0 being questionable, the same projection goes for Westover and White. The converted fullback has resided on New England’s injury report due to a hamstring issue since Wednesday. As for the defensive end, who saw a combined 38 snaps in the September opener, he returned to practice as a full participant on Thursday after being sidelined with an illness for four practices and one game.
“No other injury designations,” Vrabel said.
