"The Patriots are coming off a big-time win over the Dolphins, as they hadn't beaten their divisional foe on the road since the 2019 season, and are now preparing for another familiar opponent with the Steelers coming to Gillette Stadium in Week 3. This isn't the typical Pittsburgh team, however, now that Aaron Rodgers is under center, one of his favorite targets will surely be wide receiver D.K. Metcalf."
"Fortunately, their secondary has started to gain some traction without their best cornerback, Christian Gonzalez, particularly safety Jaylinn Hawkins, who has been incredibly impressive over the last two weeks. But Mike Vrabel might have just broken the internet in New England by revealing Gonzalez should be practicing with the team on Wednesday, the first time the Pro Bowler has been on the field since suffering an injury at training camp on July 28."
Patriots earned a road win at Miami, their first at that divisional venue since 2019, and will host the Steelers in Week 3. Pittsburgh's offense looks different with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback, featuring D.K. Metcalf and pass-catching running back Jaylen Warren, who led the team in receptions last week. New England's secondary has shown improvement without Pro Bowl corner Christian Gonzalez, with safety Jaylinn Hawkins standing out. Head coach Mike Vrabel revealed Gonzalez is expected to practice Wednesday, marking his first on-field work since a training-camp injury on July 28. Gonzalez's return would strengthen a secondary that has allowed several big plays.
