New England Pro Bowl tight end Rob Gronkowski hasn't played a full season since 2011, and an old rival said nagging injuries will lead to the Patriots parting ways with him.
“Gronk’s on his way out (of New England),” former Ravens and Jets linebacker Bart Scott said on CBS Sports Radio. “Because of injuries, and they don’t stick with you when they see you slipping. When you have a big man that starts having back problems – he’s only in his seventh year, and he has two years remaining."
Gronkowski was questionable heading into Sunday's win over the Jets with a lung injury.
