Gonzalez (ankle) was a full participant in Monday's practice, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.

The Patriots got one of the key pieces of their defense back on the practice field Monday, as Gonzalez was a full participant after recovering from an ankle issue. The star cornerback, who remains in negotiations with the team on a contract extension, missed several practices and both of the first two preseason games due to the injury, but he now appears to have moved past the issue.
