Relax, the Gronkowski Injury Isn't That Bad

Take a deep breath New England, the best tight end in football is likely going to be back on the field and spiking footballs before you know it.

Despite being carted off during Sunday night’s game against the Denver Broncos, things are looking up for Rob Gronkowski.

Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reports that Gronkowski is unlikely to miss more than one game and may even be back for Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

ESPN additionally reported that the injury is being described more as a bruise than a tear.

Late in the fourth quarter, Gronkowski took a hit to his knee from Darian Stewart while attempting to catch a pass. He was carted off the field and did not return for the remainder of the game.

With Julian Edelman, Dion Lewis, and Danny Amendola all out, Gronkowski remains one of the Patriots few weapons left on offense. Through 11 games, he has 931 yards and nine touchdowns on 57 receptions.
