Gronkowski Injury Update: He's Officially Week-to-Week

The Patriots say there is no timetable for his return.

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is officially week to week with no timetable to return.

The Patriots and the Gronkowski family made the announcement through a statement Tuesday night after endless speculation and news about the severity of an injury suffered on Sunday night.

“During Sunday night’s game, Rob Gronkowski sustained a bone bruise/sprain of his right knee. His status will be evaluated on a week-to-week basis and listed accordingly on the practice participation and injury reports. There is no timetable for his readiness to return, which will be determined in the days or hours prior to the appropriate game. Any timetable reported prior to that final determination would be speculative,” the statement read.
