Rob Gronkowski to reportedly undergo back surgery

Rob-Gronkowski

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski reportedly needs back surgery.

As Vic Carucci of The Buffalo News first reported, Gronkowski suffered a ruptured disk when he was hit in a game against the Seattle Seahawks earlier this year, and his injury is worse than initially believed. He is expected to miss up to eight weeks.

That would almost certainly keep Gronkowski out for the remainder of the season, which is horrible news for the Patriots.

Gronkowski missed one game after taking this vicious hit from Seahawks safety Earl Thomas, and initial reports indicated he suffered a punctured lung that was not serious. The Pro Bowler played last weekend against the New York Jets but left the game early with a back issue.

Another back surgery for Gronk would be his third such procedure since he was in college at Arizona back in 2009.
