Gonzalez (shoulder) was deemed active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Gonzalez dealt with a shoulder injury that kept him limited during practice Wednesday through Friday. Nevertheless, the second-year pro will suit up and continue to serve as New England's top cornerback. Across 13 appearances this season, Gonzalez has accrued 55 tackles and eight passes defended, including two interceptions and a pick-six.

Gonzalez (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. Gonzalez was dealing with a hip injury ahead of the Patriots' Week 14 bye, so this appears to be a new injury for the team's top cornerback. He'll have two more practice days to get in some reps ahead of Sunday's date with Marvin Harrison and the Cardinals.

Gonzalez recorded six tackles (five solo) and an interception during Sunday's 25-24 loss versus the Colts. Gonzalez sped all the way from one set of numbers to the other to jump in front of an Alec Pierce crossing route in the fourth quarter and collect his second interception of the season in Week 13. He'll be looking to continue to bolster his case for an All-Pro selection after the Patriots' bye in Week 14.

Gonzalez (hip) is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. The cornerback appeared on the injury report Friday with the hip issue, but it was never considered serious. The 2023 first-round pick has 46 tackles (39 solo) and six passes defensed, including an interception, this season.

Gonzalez (hip) is listed as questionable but is considered likely to play in Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Gonzalez didn't appear on the Patriots' Week 12 injury report until he was added Friday due to the hip issue, which limited his participation in Friday's session. The hip injury apparently isn't viewed as a big concern, and if Gonzalez is active for the contest as expected, he likely won't face any restrictions with his snap count. The second-year player is beginning to build a reputation as one of the top cover corners in the league, and his availability for Sunday will be vital as the Patriots look to slow down standout Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill.
