Patriots CB Christian Gonzalez Clears Concussion Protocol for Divisional Round

New England Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez has cleared the NFL's concussion protocol and will play in the Divisional Round game against the Houston Texans without an injury designation. Gonzalez entered the protocol late last weekend but progressed quickly, going from a non-contact jersey to a full participant for consecutive practice sessions. His availability is a boost for the Patriots' defense as they prepare to face the Texans.
