Not only will the New England Patriots be playing without tight end Rob Gronkowski in their Sunday AFC Championship game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, their other top tight end will apparently play in the contest at less than 100 percent.
According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Patriots tight end Martellus Bennett will play Sunday against the Steelers with a cracked bone and bone chips in his ankle. Bennett, who was limited all three days in practice this past week, was one of seven New England players listed as questionable on the Friday injury report.
