Rob Gronkowski – Important – Injury
TE Rob Gronkowski appears on track to return to the lineup for Monday night’s game at the Buffalo Bills. Gronkowski, who sat out last week’s win over the Chicago Bears, met with the media Saturday and reported improvement in the back injury that kept him from accompanying the team to the Windy City. “Obviously, I feel better. I have been taking steps every single day forward,” said Gronkowski. “That is all I can ask for, taking steps every day forward and definitely at this time last week way better because every day I have been taking steps forward to get better.”
Sony Michel – Important – Injury
RB Sony Michel was back at practice Saturday, raising the possibility that he could be available for Monday night’s matchup at the Buffalo Bills. Michel suffered a knee injury early in last week’s 38-31 win over the Chicago Bears and did not practice all week before showing up at Saturday’s indoor session. Reports out of Boston said Michel did not suffer structural damage to the knee, but he was expected to sit out at least one game.
