Gronkowski “Good to Go” Week 1
Monday, September 01, 2014
It is extremely rare that a Patriots player breaks news about their health. Rob Gronkowski broke that trend Monday, when he told reporters at Gillette Stadium that he will be playing this Sunday for the Patriots against the Miami Dolphins.
"I’m good to go," Gronkowski said. "I’ll be playing.”
Those words make Sunday's season opener even more important. Gronkowski will be returning to the field for the first time since he tore his ACL last December against the Cleveland Browns.
