'He's on a plan': Christian Gonzalez pops up on Patriots' injury report after being limited at practice
""He's on a plan with [Mike Vrabel], and [director of sports performance] Frank [Piraino] and [athletic trainer] Jim [Whalen in the training room" Hamilton said."
""It's kind of a warm-up to the early portion of practice. "Just to do more because some of the stuff is special teams or different things where it's like a jog through or a walk through and its for him to get to the pace that he can go at to be able to able to get out there when we are out there in the speed periods of practice.""
""On the one that was the play extended forever, it was like 'man, thank goodness he's back there', Hamilton said. "Because the guy came down with the ball. I mean, he ran out of real estate, but he came down with the ball.""
Christian Gonzalez returned to practice as a limited participant due to a hamstring injury while following an individualized plan with coaches and trainers. Gonzalez previously missed the first three games, returned against Carolina, and made two key stops late in the win over Buffalo. Coaches described his limited work as a warm-up to early practice and incremental pacing to reach full-speed periods, including modified special-teams reps. Five players were limited Thursday and four did not participate, with Antonio Gibson sidelined long-term by a torn ACL and others listed with hamstring, ankle, neck, and elbow issues.
