Recovering well, unsure for OTAs
Gonzalez (shoulder) said Tuesday he feels "healthy" but is unsure how much he'll participate in OTAs, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Gonzalez, a 2023 first-round pick, had a strong start to his career before suffering a season-ending right torn labrum in just Week 4. Per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, Gonzalez is still rehabbing and focusing on strengthening his shoulder, so it sounds like he may be a limited participant at best when OTAs kick off May 20. Barring any setbacks, there are no concerns about Gonzalez gaining full medical clearance in advance of the 2024 regular season, and returning to a starting role at cornerback.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Poised for big 2024
After a 2023 rookie campaign that was cut short due to a season-ending shoulder injury sustained in Week 4, Gonzalez is set to take the next step in his production in 2024, Gilberto Manzano of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gonzalez, who was taken 17th in the 2023 NFL Draft, had a strong start to his rookie campaign, as he accumulated 16 tackles, including 1.0 sacks, three passes defended and an interception over his first three games. However, Gonzalez had his season cut short after sustaining a torn labrum in Week 4 against the Cowboys. With new head coach Jerod Mayo taking the reins, Manzano believes that having a defensive-minded coach at the helm should benefit Gonzalez heading into 2024.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Gonzalez, who surprisingly fell to the Patriots in the No. 17 slot of the 2023 NFL Draft, profiles as the "toolsiest" corner in his class at 6-2, 201 pounds with 4.38 speed and the length to stick on the outside. Not only was the Oregon product a great value, he also fills what was considered one of the team's top pre-draft needs. As a result, Gonzalez should challenge for reps immediately opposite Jonathan Jones.
