Patriots' Christian Gonzalez: No designation for Sunday
Gonzalez (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's divisional-round game against the Texans.
Coach Mike Vrabel called Gonzalez questionable to face Houston earlier in the day Friday, but that appeared to be a mishap on Vrabel's part, as Gonzalez cleared protocol and is ready to go for a date with Jayden Higgins after Nico Collins (concussion) was ruled out for Sunday.

Patriots' Christian Gonzalez: Questionable for Sunday
Gonzalez (concussion) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's divisional-round matchup against the Texans, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.
Despite practicing in full Thursday, Gonzalez must still clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to suit up for Sunday's playoff contest. The third-year pro from Oregon is one of the league's premier outside cornerbacks, recording 69 total tackles and 10 passes defensed across 14 regular-season games in 2025. If active for the divisional round, Gonzalez will likely start opposite Carlton Davis to form the Patriots' top boundary corner duo.

Patriots' Christian Gonzalez: Logs full practice Thursday
Gonzalez (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Gonzalez's upgrade in practice participation indicates that he is progressing through the league's concussion protocol, which he entered following the Patriots' AFC wild-card round win over the Chargers this past Sunday. New England will host Houston on Sunday in the divisional round, and Gonzalez would need to be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to play in that contest.

Patriots' Christian Gonzalez: Looks to practice Wednesday
Gonzalez (concussion) is expected to practice Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
The Patriots' starting cornerback suffered a concussion in the second half of last Sunday's playoff win over the Chargers. Gonzalez's ability to practice Wednesday means he is likely ready to continue progressing the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in the hopes of being set to suit up for Sunday's divisional round matchup with the Texans.

Patriots' Christian Gonzalez: In concussion protocol
Gonzalez is in the NFL's concussion protocol, head coach Mike Vrabel relayed Monday, Mark Daniels of MassLive reports.
Gonzalez exited in the second half of Sunday's 16-3 wild-card game win over the Chargers to be evaluated for a head injury. That evaluation evidently revealed a concussion, which means Gonzalez will need to return to full practice participation and be cleared by an independent neurologist to participate in the AFC divisional-round game against the Texans or Steelers on Sunday, Jan. 18. Charles Woods would likely draw the start at outside cornerback if Gonzalez doesn't exit the concussion protocol in time.

Patriots' Christian Gonzalez: Doesn't return to playoff win
Gonzalez (head) was downgraded to out during Sunday's 16-3 win over the Chargers in the wild-card round.
Gonzalez was evaluated for a head injury in the second half and ruled out after initially being deemed questionable to return. The team hasn't indicated that he suffered a concussion, but if that turns out to be the case, Gonzalez would need to pass the five-step concussion protocol in order to play in the AFC divisional round against either the Texans or Steelers on Sunday, Jan. 18.

Patriots' Christian Gonzalez: Another productive season
Gonzalez tallied 69 total tackles (54 solo) and 10 passes defensed over 14 regular-season games in 2025.
