Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski to miss game against 49ers

“It’s a little tough to breathe, but once it comes back, you’re good”, Gronkowski said of the hit. Reid is athletic and has the size to match up with opposing tight ends like Bennett, but Tom Brady has a knack for finding the right matchups and using his versatile weapons. He is a great quarterback.

“I was, I think 4 years old and my parents brought me”.

Now, this doesn’t mean that Gronkowski is necessarily going on the trip as the team has not announced anything, but it’s just noteworthy to point out.

“Fundamentals, decisive movements, everything goes hand in hand with fundamentals”. “Now, coming off a loss, it’s something that we have to improve on, go out there and win and just play better football”.

Rivera described Kuechly’s second known career concussion “concerning”, but quickly added “I don’t want to get into the speculation of all of that”. They care about not costing our team with penalties.

Earlier this week, Gronkowski was reportedly advised not to fly after suffering a chest injury last Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks.

With Gronkowski out and given the matchup, it’s a great week to load up on any offensive player from New England.

Patriots fans are hoping the duo can spark a New England win against a 1-8 49ers team led by Colin Kaepernick.

As for Gronkowski, he doesn’t hold a grudge against Thomas. “You can tell he loves it”. I think I have a picture of it. I’m very happy where I ended up. A lot of their first-down plays they run on third-down. “And I respect that”.

“(Coach Bill Belichick) has been on us about that game, too”, defensive captain Devin McCourty said Wednesday.

“I may never get the opportunity again, so it’s nice to have all the support, and I’ve had a lot from the Bay Area over the years”, Brady said.
