Patriots fans learned late Thursday afternoon that their team would be without Rob Gronkowski against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, after the star tight end sustained a thigh injury. Yet, the question remains: How?
ESPN’s Adam Schefter was first to report Thursday that Gronkowski would miss the game, roughly 90 minutes before the Patriots officially listed him as inactive.
No sure thing Rob Gronkowski is active tonight and if he is, he will be limited, per source.
