In terms of pre-game orientation errors, the Buccaneers took a win over the Patriots.

From multiple reports of negative x-rays on his ribs to suggestions and indications that tight end Rob Gronkowski would ultimately play a cameo appearance in training on Friday, no one seriously expected Gronk to miss the return to News. -England. Apparently, we knew from the start that Gronk wouldn’t go.

Gronkowski, who spent his retirement year at Fox, told Fox’s Jay Glazer that last week’s heavy blow against the Rams resulted in four cracked ribs and a punctured lung.

Gronk would have missed “weeks”. However, he has yet to be placed on the injured list.
