#Patriots CB Christian Gonzalez on participating in practice today for the first time in over a month:
“Excited to be back out there. I love football. This is what I do. So it’s been very challenging to be out for so long.”

#Patriots All-Pro CB Christian Gonzalez will “do some stuff” today practice, per HC Mike Vrabel.
Vrabel responded with “sure” when asked if he could possibly play Week 3.
Gonzalez injured his left hamstring on July 28th and has not seen the field since.
#Patriots LB Christian Elliss on missed tackles:
“That’s something we’re gonna really look at... Especially in the linebacker room… It’s not normal. Obviously, it’s something we gotta fix.”
Elliss and Robert Spillane have combined for 14(!) missed tackles.

WRs Kayshon Boutte, Stefon Diggs, and DeMario Douglas are the reason the #Patriots defense made some big plays in Miami… yes you read that right.
Diggs: “Let me [sit] between y’all. Good things happen when I’m between y’all.”
“I’m stitious, not superstitious.”
