Rob Gronkowski Limited in Wednesday Practice with Concussion Ahead of Super Bowl

Adam WellsJan 31, 2018

The New England Patriots got a good news on Wednesday when tight end Rob Gronkowski returned to the practice field.

Per Nicki Jhabvala ofย The Denver Post, Gronkowski was a limited participant in practice.ย 

During aย Madden NFLย event on Tuesday, Gronkowski was asked if he thought he was going to be cleared from the NFL's concussion protocol to play in Sunday's Super Bowl against the Philadelphia Eagles.ย 

"Yes," he said, viaย Jeff Howeย of theย Boston Herald. "We'll see how it goes and what the doctors say. Iโ€™m not the guy to say. 'Oh I'm out of the protocol.' Thatโ€™s the doctorโ€™s calls. And hopefully thatโ€™s very very soon."

Gronkowski missed the second half of the Patriots' 24-20 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in the AFC Championship Game on Jan. 21 after taking a helmet-to-helmet hit from safety Barry Church.ย 

A five-time Pro Bowler, Gronkowski led the Patriots with 69 receptions, 1,084 yards and eight touchdowns during the regular season.ย
