Gonzalez did not allow any catches against the Chargers while the Patriots held Los Angeles to three points. On Thursday, Gonazlez was able to practice without a red non-contact jersey."

Cornerback Alex Austin, who spent several weeks on injured reserve with a wrist injury, was also a full participant."
