The second-year corner from Oregon likely needs to upgrade to at least limited practice participation Thursday or Friday in order to play in the Patriots' regular-season finale against the Bills on Sunday. If Gonzalez is unable to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in time to play in Week 18, Alex Austin will likely see additional snaps with New England's first-team defense.

On track for Sunday Gonzalez (hip) is listed as questionable but is considered likely to play in Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Gonzalez didn't appear on the Patriots' Week 12 injury report until he was added Friday due to the hip issue, which limited his participation in Friday's session.

The second-year player is beginning to build a reputation as one of the top cover corners in the league, and his availability for Sunday will be vital as the Patriots look to slow down standout Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill.

Impact The second-year pro from Oregon popped up on the Patriots' injury report Friday as a limited participant due to a calf injury, putting his Week 12 status in doubt. Gonzalez's potential absence could significantly impact a Patriots defense that may already be without both of its top safeties, Marte Mapu (neck) and Kyle Dugger (ankle). If Gonzalez is unable to play through the issue Sunday, expect Alex Austin to see increased work as one of New England's top outsider corners.
