Patriots Release Final Injury Report Before Week 8 Game

The New England Patriots were plagued with injuries in the last period, but tight end Rob Gronkowski is back, and they are ready to roll. The Pats will challenge the Buffalo Bills in their Week 8 matchup.

Rob Gronkowski was limited in practice on Saturday, and the team ruled him as questionable against the Bills. Gronk still recovers from his back injury, but has slight chances of playing in the Week 8 game.

The tight end recovered from his back and ankle injury, but Pats fans still hope that he will play on Monday. The Patriots ruled out tight end Jacob Hollister for the game despite the fact that he was limited in practice on Saturday due to his hamstring injury.

“Obviously, I feel better. I have been taking steps every single day forward. That is all I can ask for, taking steps every day forward and definitely at this time last week way better because every day I have been taking steps forward to get better and get back on the field to help out this team,” Gronk said of his condition.

“I feel good. Just doing everything that I need to do. Whatever the training staff, whatever I can do out on the field, whatever the coaches ask me to do. Just taking it day-by-day, one step at a time to get back out on the field.”
