Rob Gronkowski - Page 27 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Limited at Thursday's practice Gronkowski (shoulder) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice.

Impact A shoulder issue has plagued Gronkowski for the past few weeks, but his snap count hasn't suffered, as he's logged at least 70 percent of the plays on offense in six of seven games this season. On top of that, he's found pay dirt in back-to-back games, combining for 10 catches (on 16 targets) for 140 yards and the pair of scores during that stretch. Assuming he continues to play through the injury Monday versus the Giants, Gronkowski could be in line for even more work with Chris Godwin (finger) expected to be sidelined.

Extra Week 8 opportunities on tap? Gronkowski could be set for an expanded role in Monday night's Week 8 game against the Giants with Chris Godwin (finger) ruled out for the contest.

Impact Jenna Laine of ESPN.com confirms Godwin fractured his index finger on his fourth-quarter touchdown reception in Sunday's win over the Raiders and will be forced to miss Week 8 at minimum. Gronkowski has only generated a combined 4-82 line on 10 targets over the three prior games Godwin has missed this season with a concussion and a hamstring injury, but he's shown clear signs of being back to full football shape and having a firm grasp of coach Bruce Arians' offense of late. The multi-time Pro Bowler well head into Monday night's contest riding the wave of his best two-game stretch as a Buccaneer, as he posted 10 receptions for 140 yards and two touchdowns against the Packers and Raiders in Weeks 6 and 7, respectively.

In end zone again Sunday Gronkowski brought in five of eight targets for 62 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 45-20 win over the Raiders on Sunday. He also fumbled once but it was recovered by the o...

Impact The veteran tight end continued an upward trajectory that began in Week 3, posting five grabs, including a touchdown, on eight targets for the second consecutive contest. After bringing in just two of four targets for 11 yards over his first pair of contests, the 31-year-old has increasingly rounded into form with a 20-280-2 line over the subsequent five games. While Gronkowski's overall numbers are highly unlikely to match those of his heyday in New England due to the Buccaneers having so many mouths to feed on offense, he should have another chance to offer solid production at a volatile fantasy position during a Week 8 Monday night battle against the vulnerable Giants.

Back at practice in limited fashion Gronkowski (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact As anticipated, Gronkowski was back at practice after he sat out Wednesday's session due to the shoulder issue. Prior to that session, coach Bruce Arians characterized Gronkowski's absence as a veteran's day off, so the Buccaneers don't seem to harbor any real concern about the tight end's status for Sunday's game in Las Vegas. The Buccaneers will wait and see if Gronkowski is able to upgrade to full participation Friday before determining whether he'll carry a designation into the weekend.

Misses practice with shoulder issue Gronkowski (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's injury report.

Impact Earlier Wednesday, coach Bruce Arians told Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site that Gronkowski was slated for a veteran's day off, but the tight end instead has "shoulder" attached to his name. Gronkowski will look to get in some reps by the end of the week, but Arians' comments seem to imply he'll be OK for Sunday's game at Las Vegas.

Gets day off Wednesday Gronkowski, along with longtime teammate Tom Brady, was given a veteran's day off from practice Wednesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Impact Any absence of practice participation on the part of a player the caliber of Gronkowski is always newsworthy, but this report allays any health-related concerns. The multi-time Pro Bowler has seemingly started to hit his stride in coach Bruce Arians' offense, as Gronkowski has a 15-207-1 line over his last four games.

Scores first TD with Tampa Gronkowski caught five of eight targets for 78 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Packers.

Impact The 78 receiving yards were not only a season high for the veteran tight end, it led the team on a day when the Bucs' defense dominated the opposition, while Gronkowski's 12-yard TD catch right before halftime was his first in a Tampa Bay uniform. While it's worth noting that Gronk's best performance of the year came when both Mike Evans and Chris Godwin were in the lineup, Evans only saw two targets and the team didn't pass the ball much in the second half. If Tampa's Week 7 road trip to Las Vegas ends up supplying a less friendly game script, Gronkowski could once again find himself taking a back seat in the passing game.
