"Star cornerback Christian Gonzalez has cleared concussion protocol and will play in Sunday's game. Gonzalez was a full participant for the second straight practice on Friday, with Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel saying earlier in the day that he would be questionable to play on Sunday. Edge rusher Harold Landry (knee) and Terrell Jennings (concussion protocol) are the only two Patriots players listed as questionable for Sunday's game, and no one has been ruled out."
"Arguably the biggest piece of injury news for Sunday's game, though, is that Texans star wide receiver Nico Collins has been ruled out as he remains in concussion protocol. Collins departed the Texans' wild-card win against the Steelers in the second half due to the injury. Collins likely would've been Gonzalez's primary assignment if he were healthy. Collins has emerged as one of the NFL's best perimeter wide receivers over the last few years, logging 71 receptions for 1,117 yards and six touchdowns."
Patriots have a relatively clean injury report heading into Sunday's divisional round against the Texans. Christian Gonzalez cleared concussion protocol and will play after participating fully in two straight practices, despite earlier being considered questionable. Harold Landry (knee) and Terrell Jennings (concussion protocol) are listed as questionable, and no Patriots players are ruled out. Texans star Nico Collins has been ruled out and remains in concussion protocol after exiting the wild-card win over the Steelers. Collins recorded 71 receptions for 1,117 yards and six touchdowns in the regular season and has produced strong playoff numbers. Houston lacks a clear No. 1 receiver with Collins out.
