Christian Gonzalez

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Patriots CB Christian Gonzalez (hip) is likely to play in Week 12 against the Dolphins.

The same is true of defensive lineman Christian Barmore, who was listed as questionable after missing two practices for non-injury reasons this week. Barmore was added tot he injury report with a hip issue on Friday, causing some concern for his Week 12 availability. The Pats remain significant underdogs to the Dolphins this week, but getting the young duo of Barmore and Gonzalez on the field is a small boost to a defensive unit that has struggled this year.
