Rob Gronkowski Practices In Full Thursday
3 years agoTampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski (back) got in a full practice on Thursday, which is a good sign that he can return to action on Monday night against the New York Giants. Gronkowski returned prematurely in Week 8 after missing extended time with fractured ribs and a punctured lung, only to suffer from back spasms. With a couple more weeks of rest, it looks like he's getting back to full health, but the Bucs want to make sure he's 100% for the second half of the season. A full practice to start the week is an excellent sign, though. If Gronk returns to the starting lineup on Monday, he'll return to TE1 relevance as long as he's not on a snap count. O.J. Howard and Cameron Brate have been sharing the tight end reps in his absence.
