Patriots Injury News Christian Gonzalez Watch (Head Injury)

Hope he can play next week because he dominated tonight. Fortunately we don’t have the Bills next week and get to face a lesser offense either way.

Please switch to that Guardian helmet. Can't lose you bud.

[Nikolai]

He was extremely quick off the line a few times tonight, almost to the point of being offsides. He had that snap cadence down.

They showed a clip of him walking down the tunnel and he looked shaky. That usually doesn't bode well for a one week stay on the protocol, BUT I don't think he was seen by the protocol docs, so he might not be on it right now. I have no idea how that works in detail if he wasn't put on it during the game.

He truly was DOMINANT tonight. He'd be a top 3 loss for us

Hope not I hate those, can’t believe their motion not limited.

If some kind of extra interior protection available, all for it.

We're there any other injuries? Can't believe the luck if they came out pretty much healthy.

Just the coach with the external hemmorage of the abium superius oris.

He may have been taping the Chargers’ signals at practice this past week……..

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

6 sacks is extremely impressive especially when the chargers tackles were allotted an early start almost all night. Insane that their only false start was called on the guard

Edit - wrong thread, think Gonzo is good for next week from the sounds of it

 

[Rob0729]

Sounds like it more like the times when Drake Maye and Henderson were concussed than say Boutte or Wilson. Maye and Henderson were cleared by the next game while Boutte missed one game and Wilson missed two. Maye had the same response as Gonzalez right after the game that he was good.

You never know with the concussion protocol, but Gonzalez seems to have a decent chance to return for the Division Round.

 

[bakes781]

Whenever a player shakes his head after getting up that's a like a bat signal to the concussion protocol watchers.

Shoot Cam Skattebo does that after every play!

 

[PatsFan2]

After Maye: Gonzalez is the next player we cannot afford to Lose. We are a completely different Defense without him.

 

[PatsFan2]

Gonzo you need a concussion Helmet from now on. This is the Second time this has happened like in the Atlanta Game.

 

[Uptown]

 

[Joey007]

We’re thankfully not going to play a juggernaut offense next week regardless. So it’s at least survivable to be without him.

Hope we get him cleared, though.

Gonzo is in the Concussion Protocol

Patriots CB Christian Gonzalez is in the concussion protocol

Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez was having a strong game against the Chargers on Sunday night, until he left the game in the fourth quarter.

Interesting that Herbert knocked his noggin on one of his running plays, and nada was said about it last night...

 

[TheRainMaker]

He'll be fine. He's not missing the divisional game.
