ROB GRONKOWSKI NEWS

Makes six grabs in return Gronkowski caught six of eight targets for 71 yards in Monday night's 30-10 win over the Giants.

Impact Gronkowski, making just his second appearance since Week 3, went for a game-long gain of 35 yards in the first half. Besides that outburst, he helped long-time quarterback Tom Brady move the chains with a handful of other grabs, posting his highest yardage total of the campaign. Even though he didn't score a touchdown, keeping him at four through five games, the tight end should be encouraged by his return to action and will strive to build on Monday's performance in Week 12 versus the Colts.

Impact Prior to sitting out Saturday's practice, Gronkowski had managed two sessions without any restrictions, which reinforces the notion that he's on the right track to play after sitting out five of the Buccaneers' previous six games. That said, a final word on Gronkowski's status likely won't be announced until Tampa Bay releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Monday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. Given the time that he's missed, Gronkowski could be subject to a more limited snap count than usual in his expected return to the lineup.

Seems on track to play The Buccaneers seem optimistic Gronkowski (back) will return for Monday's game against the Giants, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gronkowski was a full practice participant Thursday and Friday before sitting out Saturday and being listed as questionable on the final injury report. It seems the absence was planned -- rather than indicative of a setback -- but fantasy managers will still want to check in when the Bucs release their inactive list approximately 90 minutes before the 8:20 ET kickoff Monday night. If Gronkowski can't go, the team will lean on Cameron Brate and O.J. Howard at tight end again.

Misses practice, questionable Gronkowski (back) did not practice Saturday and is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Giants.

Impact Gronkowski was a full participant for both Thursday's and Friday's practices, so it's hard not to look at this designation as anything but a setback for the veteran tight end. Coach Bruce Arians was coy in his post-practice presser, suggesting a "number" of players for the Buccaneers would be game-time decisions, which seems like an ominous message considering the news of Gronkowski's practice status had not yet been revealed. More information will hopefully become available prior to the 8:15 ET kickoff on Monday.

Impact It certainly would be unusual for a player to miss a game after back-to-back full practices without a setback. Still, fantasy managers should keep an eye out this weekend in case the Bucs give Gronkowski a game designation on their final injury report Saturday afternoon. The extra caution does make sense, given his age, injury history and the recent failed attempt at returning from a rib/lung injury (he played six snaps Week 8 against New Orleans before exiting with back spasms). If he does return Monday, which now seems likely, there's no guarantee of Gronkowski immediately reclaiming his huge role from earlier this season (51.0 snaps, 7.0 targets per game Weeks 1-3).

Turns in full practice Gronkowski (back) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact While tending to cracked and fractured ribs and a punctured lung, and more recently, a bout with back spasms, Gronkowski has missed five of the Buccaneers' last six games and played only five snaps in the lone contest in which he suited up. The future Hall of Fame tight end finally looks to be healthier heading into a Week 11 matchup with the Giants, as he took every rep in practice for the first time since late September. Assuming he doesn't experience any setbacks in practice the next two days, Gronkowski should be ready to handle something resembling a full workload come Monday night. In the two full games Gronkowski has played this season, he's played more than 80 percent of the offensive snaps on both occasions while compiling a 12-129-4 receiving line on 13 targets.

Won't play this week Gronkowski (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Washington, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Impact A Week 9 bye didn't give the veteran tight end enough time to get healthy after his return to the lineup Week 8 quickly ended with a bout of back spasms. Gronkowski is now set to miss his fifth game of the season, leaving Cameron Brate and O.J. Howard in a timeshare again. Neither has been consistent in terms of targets or production, even in the games Gronk has missed.

DNP on Thursday Gronkowski (back) didn't participate in Thursday's practice.

Impact While he didn't mix into individual or team drills, Gronkowski was spotted running on a side field with team trainers for a second consecutive session. The lack of activity may indicate he's set to miss his fifth game of the season, but fortunately the tight end has one more chance Friday to put himself into a position to play after the Buccaneers' Week 9 bye. If Gronkowski is unable to suit up Sunday in Washington, Cameron Brate and O.J. Howard will man tight end for Tampa Bay.

Impact Gronkowski was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's report after he was able to perform only mobility work off to the side, so he'll presumably be listed the same way Thursday. The back-to-back DNPs are an early sign that he's not on track to play this weekend in Washington, but don't expect head coach Bruce Arians to formally rule Gronkowski out until after the team's final practice of the week Friday. If Gronkowski is sidelined for the fifth game of the season, O.J. Howard and Cameron Brate would likely split the reps at tight end once again.
