Rob Gronkowski misses practice with reportedly ‘minor’ injury
New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski was not present for the start of practice on Tuesday, but the injury he suffered the day before is not believed to be serious.
After Gronkowski came up lame and took himself out of practice on Monday, NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport reported that Gronk is dealing with a “minor” ailment.
Sounds like whatever caused #Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski to pull up at practice is as minor as it seemed. No worries.

As in years past, the Patriots are not going to take any risks with Gronkowski during the offseason. He’ll be by far their most valuable offensive player while Tom Brady sits out the first four games, and the Pats already got a scare with their best wide receiver last week.
It’s probably safe to assume Gronk won’t miss much time.
