The injury news on Rob Gronkowski has been all positive since the New England Patriots tight end was carted off the field Sunday night.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that the Patriots expect Gronkowski to miss no more than one game. There is also a chance he will miss no time at all.
Sounds like #Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski (knee) is unlikely to miss more than one game, I'm told. In fact, he may not even miss that.

All indications are that the Patriots dodged a major bullet. Their loss to the Denver Broncos was their first of the season, but the fact that Gronk appears to have avoided a significant injury is a win for New England.
If you haven’t seen the scary hit on Gronkowski, you can watch the video here.
With the way Gronk was rolling around in pain, things did not look good. You can’t blame him for being terrified, as the hit was similar to the one that tore both his ACL and MCL back in 2013. Patriots fans should be breathing a major sigh of relief.
