Patriots' Khyiris Tonga: On track to play vs. Houston
Tonga (foot) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
A foot injury prevented Tonga from playing in the Patriots' last three games, including their wild-card round win over the Chargers this past Sunday. With a full practice under his belt, the fifth-year defensive tackle is on track to be available for Sunday's AFC divisional-round clash against the Texans. Tonga posted 24 tackles (nine solo) and two pass defenses across 14 regular-season games.

Patriots' Khyiris Tonga: Out for Sunday
Tonga (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
The 29-year-old is now in line to miss his second game in a row due to a foot injury sustained in the Week 16 win over the Ravens. Across 14 appearances this season, Tonga has tallied 24 total tackles and two passes defensed while serving as one of the Patriots' top nose tackles. Expect Eric Gregory to have an expanded role on New England's defensive line while Tonga is out Sunday.

Patriots' Khyiris Tonga: Still sidelined by foot injury
Tonga (foot) did not practice Wednesday.
Tonga was unable to play against the Jets in Week 17 due to a foot injury he picked up during the Patriots' Week 16 win over the Ravens. The fifth-year nose tackle would have to practice in at least a limited capacity over the next two days to have a realistic chance to play against the Dolphins on Sunday. Undrafted rookie Eric Gregory would continue to work in an expanded role on the Patriots' defensive line if Tonga were to be ruled out.

Patriots' Khyiris Tonga: Sidelined for Week 17
Tonga (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jets, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
The BYU product sustained a foot injury in the Week 16 win over the Ravens and logged consecutive DNPs to open the Patriots' week of practice, so it's no surprise that he won't play Sunday. Tonga has appeared in 14 games this season, recording 24 total tackles and two passes defensed. Expect Eric Gregory to operate as New England's top nose tackle while Tonga is out Week 17.

Patriots' Khyiris Tonga: Opens week with DNP
Tonga (foot) did not practice Wednesday.
Tonga is considered week-to-week due to a foot injury he sustained against the Ravens in Week 16. That makes it unlikely that he'll play against the Jets on Sunday, in which case Eric Gregory would be poised to take on a larger role at defensive tackle. Tonga's practice participation over the next two days will shed light on his chances of playing Week 17.

Patriots' Khyiris Tonga: Week-to-week with foot issue
Tonga (foot) is considered to have a one- or two-week injury and should be back for the playoffs, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Tonga left Sunday night's game against the Ravens in the first half and was unable to return. The starting nose tackle for the Patriots is a key part of their defense, so his availability for an inevitable playoff push is a big win for the team. Since the 29-year-old may miss the rest of the regular season, Eric Gregory will likely be called upon to face the Jets in Week 17 and maybe the Dolphins in Week 18.

Patriots' Khyiris Tonga: No go for MNF
Tonga (chest) is inactive for Monday night's contest against the Giants.
Tonga went the wrong direction at practice during the week, going from a limited participant Wednesday to a non-participant by the end of the week while nursing a chest injury he suffered in Week 12. The defensive lineman will now be forced to miss his first game of the year. In his absence, Eric Gregory is a top candidate to handle the lion's share of workload at nose tackle versus New York.

Patriots' Khyiris Tonga: Could play in Week 13
Tonga (chest) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Giants, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
The BYU product downgraded from limited practice Thursday to a DNP on Friday, suggesting he's trending in the wrong direction ahead of Monday night's contest. Tonga has appeared in all 12 of New England's games this season, tallying 19 total tackles and two passes defensed.
