FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- With New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski already ruled out for Sunday’s road game against the San Francisco 49ers, it increases the likelihood that Matt Lengel will be active for his first career NFL game as the team’s No. 2 tight end alongside Martellus Bennett.
Some Patriots fans might be asking, "Who is Lengel?"
No. 82 in your updated Patriots program, he entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent out of Eastern Kentucky and spent his 2015 rookie season on the Cincinnati Bengals' practice squad.
