The Patriots’ Friday injury report noted one key addition: cornerback Christian Gonzalez is now questionable to play against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.
Gonzalez is dealing with a hip injury, according to New England. He was not on the injury report until Friday’s practice, where he was a limited participant.
The second-year corner hasn’t missed a game for the Patriots yet this season. His health has been no issue a year removed from his promising rookie year, which was cut short due to a shoulder injury.
This season, Gonzalez has been one of New England’s best defensive players, often tasked with shadowing opposing teams’ best receivers.
