3 years agoTampa Bay Bucs tight end Rob Gronkowski missed the open portion of practice on Wednesday while recovering from a rib injury suffered during Sunday's loss. The veteran won't need much practice time to get ready for Sunday night's game, and you can absolutely count on the fact that he will do everything in his power to play when Tampa heads to New England. However, if you have Gronkowski on your team, it might not be a bad idea to add a fallback option in case we see that he doesn't practice on Thursday or Friday. Teammate Cameron Brate took over much of the receiving work after Gronk was injured and would be a good pivot option for managers who have Gronk.--Eric Samulski - RotoBaller
