HOUSTON -- Tight end Rob Gronkowski and safety Patrick Chung traveled to Houston with the Patriots today, but linebacker Dont'a Hightower was downgraded to out.
Gronkowski's status for tomorrow's game against the Texans remains questionable, and it's not clear if he is actually good to go. However, the fact that he traveled is an indication the Patriots believe in the chance that he will pass any necessary tests on his sprained right knee.
Chung has dealt with a foot injury for two weeks and missed practice Wednesday for the first time since re-signing with the Pats in 2014.
