Gonzalez has been the Patriots’ best defensive player this season. The Patriots travel Saturday afternoon, at which point they’ll rule out any player who doesn’t travel to Miami. The Patriots need Gonzalez to help cover Dolphins wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.
The only player ruled out for Week 12 is defensive tackle Jaquelin Roy (neck).
