Bucs Made Official Decision On Rob Gronkowski’s Status Against Patriots

Will Rob Gronkowski help Tom Brady win the game against the New England Patriots? The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have provided an update on his status for Sunday’s game.

Believe it or not, big Gronk won’t play tomorrow. The Buccaneers have ruled him out for the Week 4 match. The former Patriots tight end won’t suit up for the game due to a rib injury he sustained. Adam Schefter from ESPN confirmed that Gronk is dealing with complications from his rib injury.

Gronkowski sustained the injury while catching a pass early in the third quarter. He was hit by Rams’ Terrell Lewis and it looks like this injury will keep him away from the field. The tight end returned to the game later in the quarter and finished the night with four catches and 55 yards. The Buccaneers lost the game.

Rob Gronkowski won’t get a chance to go against the Patriots

NFL fans will never forget Gronkowski’s success with the Patriots. He spent nine seasons with the team from 2010 to 2018. The team won a lot of games with his help and now he is going against them. During his long stint with the Patriots, Gronk had 521 catches for 7,861 yards and 79 touchdowns. Gronkowski’s 79 scores are the most receiving TDs in Patriots history.

The tight end decided to call it career after a bad season with the Patriots. He was the shelf of himself and wasn’t of great help in the end zone. Analysts criticized his poor performance. Gronk didn’t make a decision until late in the offseason and left the Patriots on thin ice. He decided to retire and spent an entire year outside the football field. What happened next? He came out of his retirement to play with Brady and the Buccaneers. He came out of retirement to join forces with his favorite quarterback. It was a good move and Gronkowski won a ring. The Buccaneers won the championship last season and they have another great season. They are off to a good start but the loss to the Rams was a big blow.

Sunday’s game is the most anticipated game of the regular season. Gronk will have to miss it…
