Gronkowski was sent off on Saturday, according to multiple reports. He was listed on the Buccaneers injury report with a rib injury. He didn’t train at all this week and his status before the weekend was questionable.
The tight end suffered the injury in Tampa Bay’s loss to the Los Angeles Rams last week. He took a good hit in the middle of the section after completing a catch.

Gronkowski was asked earlier in the week what he misses the most while playing in New England.
“Go to Celtics games,” he told ESPN. “They put us in touch, in the front row. Just to go see an NBA game, to be there on the field, it was always really cool.”
Tampa Bay acquired the rights to Gronkowski in a trade with the Patriots in April 2020 – about a month after Brady’s signing. He missed the entire 2019 season to recover from injuries and the Buccaneers only had to give up a 2020 fourth-round pick for the star. He re-signed with the Bucs on another one-year deal in March after helping deliver another Super Bowl to the franchise.
