Tony Gonzalez Injury: Veteran Tight End Misses Another Practice

Tony Gonzalez and Malliciah Goodman both missed their second consecutive practices this week. Gonzo was around the facility but didn't head out on the field, while Goodman told ESPN reporter Vaughn McClure he'd be running.

Malliciah Goodman was on the field with no helmet. Told me he was going to do some sprints coming off calf injury.

Tony Gonzalez did not practice

At this point, I'm guessing Gonzo plays without really practicing. He'll probably still have some difficulty with the toe, but it's the Saints. He's not going to miss that game without a fight.

Goodman, on the other hand, will be out until the Dec. 1 game against Buffalo. Let's hope Jonathan Massaquoi and Cliff Matthews can do a good job once more in his stead.

The rest of the injury report is here. Everyone who was practicing yesterday is practicing again.
