Report: Rob Gronkowski still not cleared, Tom Brady would be off injury report

The New England Patriots are still offering mixed news on the injury front.

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com, Tom Brady was a full participant in Friday’s practice and would not even be on the injury report if there were a game Sunday — while the opposite is true of Rob Gronkowski.

#Patriots QB Tom Brady (right hand) was a full participant in today’s practice and would have been off the report if there was a game Sunday (there isn’t). Meanwhile, Rob Gronkowski (concussion) did not practice and would’ve been out for Sunday if there was a game (there isn’t).

Concerns about Brady’s hand now appear to be a thing of the past, if they weren’t already following his AFC Championship performance. All eyes will now turn to Gronkowski, who is recovering from a concussion. Most of the signals coming from the Patriots’ camp are positive for him to play in the Super Bowl, but he’s clearly not close yet.
