The New England Patriots had some good news at Thursday's practice with Christian Gonzalez taking another positive step in concussion protocol.
After practicing in a red non-contact jersey on Wednesday, the Pro Bowl cornerback was spotted without the red jersey on Thursday, before being listed on the injury report as a full participant. That further increases the likelihood that he'll be suiting up and playing in Sunday's divisional playoff game against the Houston Texans.
More good news for the Patriots is the fact that offensive tackles Morgan Moses and Thayer Munford Jr. were limited participants at practice after missing on Wednesday. Moses is the team's starting right tackle, and Munford is often utilized as an extra blocker in heavy offensive alignments.
Veteran defensive tackle Khyiris Tonga was a full participant at practice, which means he will likely make his return for his first game since the Patriots' Week 16 win over the Baltimore Ravens.
As for the Texans, all eyes are on the health status of star wide receiver Nico Collins, who is in concussion protocol for the head injury he suffered in the team's wild-card playoff win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Collins was listed as a non-participant at practice for a second straight day, which doesn't bode well for his chances of playing in Sunday's game.
Here is the full injury report for both teams:
