Ready to rock Gronkowski (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Green Bay, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Impact There was never any suggestion of Gronkowski's game status being in jeopardy. He upgraded to full practice participation Friday, setting him up for his usual role in a battle of NFC heavyweights. Gronkowski started the season slow, but he's played 80 percent or more of snaps in three straight games, averaging 3.3 catches for 43 yards on 5.3 targets in that stretch.

Reps capped in practice Gronkowski (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Impact Tampa Bay is managing Gronkowski's reps carefully this week while he manages a shoulder injury, as he's now been limited in back-to-back workouts. So long as he upgrades to full activity Friday, Gronkowski should enter Sunday's game against the Packers minus an injury designation. Gronkowski has yet to reach the end zone this season, but the Buccaneers have freed him up for more receiving work of late after he served mainly as a blocking specialist in the team's first two contests. Over the last three weeks, Gronkowski has drawn 16 targets, turning them into 10 receptions for 129 yards.

Limited in practice Wednesday Gronkowski (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Impact Gronkowski was listed as a limited participant in both of the Buccaneers' first two practices of Week 5 before upgrading to full participation in the final session and then suiting up in team's 20-19 loss to the Bears. With no news coming out of that contest indicating Gronkowski aggravated the shoulder injury, the Buccaneers are likely just managing his reps to begin Week 6. With O.J. Howard (Achilles) out for the season, and all of Mike Evans (ankle), Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Scotty Miller (hip/groin) also dealing with injuries, Gronkowski stands to be consistently involved on offense during Sunday's contest against the Packers.

Solid in Week 5 loss Gronkowski (shoulder) secured three of six targets for 52 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-19 loss to the Bears on Thursday night.
Impact The veteran tight end looked like his old self on a 23-yard catch-and-run play in the fourth quarter, even as he appeared to come up a bit gimpy after the grab. However, Gronkowski was unable to corral a key third-down pass that was a bit behind him on the Buccaneers' final drive, a possession that ended on downs on an incompletion to Cameron Brate on the next play. Gronkowski has shown some signs of life over the last three games after a very lackluster first pair of contests, securing 10 of 16 targets for 129 yards over that span. His target tally Thursday was his second highest of the campaign thus far, and he'll likely continue getting a fair amount of attention during the Buccaneers' Week 6 home showdown with the Packers on Sunday, Oct. 18.

Ready for Thursday Gronkowski (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's game in Chicago.
Impact Gronkowski was listed as a limited participant on the Buccaneers' first two practice reports of the week before advancing to full activity Wednesday, clearing the way for him to suit up Week 5. The Buccaneers' tight end group endured the loss of O.J. Howard to a season-ending ruptured Achilles' tendon Week 4, while the receiving corps will be without Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Justin Watson (chest). As a result, added targets could be available for Gronkowski and Cameron Brate, who steps in for Howard as the new No. 2 tight end. On the season, Gronkowski has put up just nine receptions for 88 yards and no touchdowns across 14 targets through four games.

Limited again Tuesday Gronkowski (shoulder) was limited at Tuesday's practice, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact Gronkowski hasn't looked like himself through four games, accounting for just one catch of greater than 20 yards, 6.3 YPT and no touchdowns on 14 targets. More looks could be on tap due to the banged-up nature of the Bucs' receiving corps and the fact fellow tight end O.J. Howard suffered a season-ending ruptured Achilles this past Sunday. That said, Gronkowski will look to rid himself of injury by the time Thursday's game at Chicago kicks off.

Listed as limited Monday Gronkowski (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant in Monday's walk-through practice, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact The Bucs' initial injury report of the week was lengthy, but in the case of Gronkowski, we'll operate under the assumption that his listed limitations were maintenance-related. If that's indeed the case, the tight end seems destined for more pass-catching opportunities, beginning Thursday against the Bears, in the wake of teammate O.J. Howard having suffered a major Achilles' injury Sunday.

One reception in win Gronkowski secured one of three targets for 29 yards in the Buccaneers' 38-31 win over the Chargers on Sunday.
Impact Gronkowski once again was firmly down the list in terms of targets, as his relatively underwhelming start to the season carried over into a fourth game Sunday. The former Patriot legend's profile in the offense appeared to be on the rise after a season-high six-catch tally Week 3, but he was back down to a minor role Sunday despite gaining impressive yardage on his one reception. However, the season-ending Achilles injury suffered by O.J. Howard late in Sunday's contest could change that dynamic beginning with a road matchup against the Bears on Thursday night.

Impact Gronkowski played 77 and 69 percent of snaps in the first two games of the season, so his 90-plus percent snap share Week 3 represented a significant jump. The veteran tight end continued to see heavy use as a blocker, but he also emerged in the passing game with six catches for 48 yards on seven targets after having drawn only three looks combined over the first two weeks. With Chris Godwin (hamstring) in danger of missing the next two games and Scotty Miller (hip) and Justin Watson (shoulder) both banged up, Gronkowski could again be in store for an elevated target count Sunday against the Chargers.
