Gronkowski Returns To Practice, Participation Limited
INDIANAPOLIS (CBS) - Rob Gronkowski finally returned to Patriots practice on Thursday, though his participation was limited.
Gronkowski had missed practice for the past two weeks due to the ankle injury he suffered in the AFC Championship Game. How healthy he'll be come Sunday night is still unknown, but he said earlier on Thursday that he's feeling better with each passing day.
"It's way better now than it was a week ago, so that's all that matters," Gronkowski said. "Taking positive strides, feeling way better. The pain's obviously been down way more than it was a week ago. It gets better every day, and that's all I can ask for."
WBZ-TV's Steve Burton spoke with Gronkowski
A report on Thursday from ESPN's Adam Schefter said that barring any setbacks at practice, Gronkowski will play on Sunday.
Aside from Gronkowski, there were no changes to the Patriots' practice report, which listed 10 other players with limited participation. Among that group are Wes Welker (knee), Logan Mankins (knee) and Brandon Spikes (knee).
