Rob Gronkowski expected to miss Sunday's game vs Saints
Hard to say this wasn't expected at this point. After much speculation that star Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski would finally return to the field on Sunday against the Saints, it's now appearing unlikely, according to ESPN's Ed Werder.
This confirms earlier reports from Adam Schefter and Mike Florio that it was looking unlikely that he would play. Gronk underwent several arm surgeries as well as back surgery in the off-season. It's believed that it is the arm that is causing the delay.
