Concussion Puts Rob Gronkowski On Injury Report

FOXBOROUGH, MA — The New England Patriots didn't practice Wednesday, but if they did, tight end Rob Gronkowski wouldn't have been on the field.

Wednesday's projected injury report lists Gronkowski out with a concussion with no other information on his condition released. He left Sunday's AFC Championship game against the Jacksonville Jaguars late in the first half after suffering a helmet-to-helmet hit from Barry Church. He was first listed as questionable to return before being downgraded to out.

Gronkowski is in the NFL concussion protocol.

Defensive lineman Deatrich Wise Jr. would have been kept out of practice with a concussion. Defensive lineman Malcolm Brown would have been limited with a foot injury and running back Mike Gillislee and offensive tackle LaAdrian Waddle would have been limited with knee injuries.

In Philadelphia, linebacker Dannell Ellerbe was listed limited with a hamstring injury and running back Jay Ajayi would have been able to take part in a full session despite an ankle injury.

The Patriots return to practice Thursday.
