Tonga (foot) was limited in practice Wednesday.
Tonga practiced for the first time since suffering a foot injury in Week 16 against Baltimore. The 29-year-old will need to at least remain limited in practice Thursday and Friday for a chance to play in the Patriots' AFC divisional round matchup against the Broncos. The five-year pro has 24 tackles (nine solo) and two pass breakups through 14 regular season games.
