Returns to practice Gronkowski (ribs) returned to practice Wednesday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact While the extent of his participation remains to be seen, this is a big step in the right direction after four consecutive missed games due to a punctured lung and fractured ribs. The Bucs don't have much reason to rush Gronkowski back into action after a serious injury, but they'll want him out there Sunday in New Orleans if he's truly healthy. Cameron Brate and O.J. Howard both have been fairly quiet while forming a TE committee in Gronk's absence.

Impact Gronkowski has missed four straight games due to a punctured lung and fractured ribs, but it looks like he's making tangible progress in his recovery. The Buccaneers will go on bye after Sunday's road matchup against the Saints, so the team could always still opt to give Gronkowski extra rest and wait until Nov. 14 at Washington to have him retake the field.

Out another week Gronkowski (ribs) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gronkowski will miss a fourth straight game, and at this point, it would be somewhat surprising if the Bucs brought him back for Week 8 against Washington, their final contest before a Week 9 bye. However, Gronkowski has only been ruled out for Week 7 at the moment, leaving O.J. Howard and Cameron Brate to continue splitting work at tight end.

Not seen at practice Friday Gronkowski (ribs) wasn't spotted on the field during the portion of Friday's practice that was open to the media, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gronkowski has yet to practice this week while recovering from a punctured lung and cracked and fractured ribs. The 32-year-old seems unlikely to be available for Sunday's matchup with the Bears, which would mark his fourth consecutive absence.

OCTOBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

No practice Thursday Gronkowski (ribs) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.

Impact Prior to the session, Gronkowski was spotted running while speed and conditioning coach Roger Kingdom and team trainer Bobby Slater looked on, per Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. It's unclear where Gronkowski stands in his recovery from cracked and fractured ribs and a punctured lung that he sustained back in Week 3, but he hasn't yet reached the stage where even individual drills are on the table. There's a good chance he's ruled out on the Buccaneers' final Week 7 injury report, which would leave O.J. Howard (ankle) and Cameron Brate as the team's main tight ends Sunday against the Bears.

Not practicing yet Gronkowski (ribs) was unable to practice Wednesday.

Impact There's no telling when Gronkowski will be given clearance to practice again after suffering a cracked rib and punctured lung back in Week 3, but he'll have two more chances to get back on the field in advance of Sunday's game against the Bears. The Buccaneers have a Week 9 bye in the near future, so the team may have aspirations of getting the tight end back in the fold for the second half of the season considering the nature of his injuries. O.J. Howard (ankle) also didn't practice Wednesday, which leaves Cameron Brate as the only healthy TE on the active roster.

Ruled out for Thursday night Gronkowski (ribs) has been ruled out for Thursday's game in Philadelphia, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact With Gronkowski out for a third straight game, Cameron Brate and O.J. Howard are likely to continue rotating at tight end. Gronkowski hasn't practiced for three weeks since suffering multiple internal injuries, but the Bucs haven't ruled him out beyond Week 6. He'll now have some extra time to recover before Tampa's next game Oct. 24 against the Bears.

OCTOBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to miss another game Gronkowski (ribs) isn't expected to play Thursday against the Eagles, Jordan Schultz of ESPN reports.

Impact Tampa Bay will provide an official Week 6 injury designation for Gronkowski at the conclusion of Wednesday's practice, but after the tight end was listed as a non-participant on the first two injury reports of the week, his expected absence for a third consecutive game isn't a major surprise. While Schultz notes that Gronkowski has made "steady progress" since suffering cracked and fractured ribs and a punctured lung in the Bucs' Sept. 26 loss to the Rams, the 32-year-old doesn't look like he'll be ready to return on a short week. Assuming Gronkowski is ultimately inactive Thursday, O.J. Howard and Cameron Brate will likely split the reps at tight end once again.

No practice reps Tuesday Gronkowski (ribs) didn't participate in Tuesday's practice, Carmen Vitali of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact According to Jenna Laine of ESPN.com, head coach Bruce Arians said Tuesday that he's encouraged by the progress Gronkowski has made in his recovery from the injury to his ribs that he sustained Week 3, but the Buccaneers won't decide whether the tight end will travel to Philadelphia for Thursday's game against the Eagles until after Wednesday's practice. Despite Arians' optimism, Gronkowski hasn't taken a tangible step forward in terms of on-field activity since suffering the injury -- he's now been listed as a non-participant for eight consecutive practices. Even if Gronkowski manages limited activity Wednesday, he'll likely be treated as a game-time decision for Thursday's contest, if not listed as doubtful or out in advance.
