Rob Gronkowski did not return to Sunday’s AFC Championship game, and according to multiple reports, has entered the league’s concussion protocol.
The Patriots tight end suffered a helmet-to-helmet blow from Jaguars safety Barry Church in the final minutes of the first half and was immediately taken to the locker room for medical evaluation. Sportscaster Tracy Wolfson reported on the CBS broadcast that both an independent neurologist and team doctors treated Gronkowski during that time.
He was initially listed as “questionable” before getting downgraded to “out.”
