Buccaneers Reportedly Make Decision On TE Rob Gronkowski
Rob Gronkowski’s status for Week 4 has been up in the air for the past few days due to a rib injury. On Saturday, the NFL world received an unfortunate update on the All-Pro tight end.
According to ESPN insider Adam Schefter, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be without Gronkowski for Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots.
Gronkowski was listed as doubtful on Friday, but Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said Gronkowski was more of a game-time decision.
We’d imagine Gronkowski did everything in his power to be ready for this game, especially since the Buccaneers are taking on the Patriots. He’d love nothing more than to have a “Gronk spike” at Gillette Stadium on Sunday Night Football.
Bucs’ TE Rob Gronkowski is not making the trip to New England today due to his rib injury and he will be out Sunday night vs. New England, per sources.

Earlier this week, ESPN insider Jordan Schultz reported that Tampa Bay would have Gronkowski available for Sunday’s game. However, his condition most likely never improved over the course of the week.
It’ll be interesting to see how the Buccaneers try to replace Gronkowski on Sunday night. They have two proven veterans in Cameron Brate and O.J. Howard, but neither player is as dangerous as Gronkowski.
In three games this season, Gronkowski has 16 catches for 184 yards and four touchdowns. He has been an absolute weapon in the red zone for Tampa Bay.
Hopefully, Gronkowski can rejoin his teammates for next weekend’s matchup against the Miami Dolphins.
