Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski was at practice Thursday. As Greg Auman of The Athletic reports, it’s unlikely that Gronkowski will be ready for Monday’s game as he recovers from his ribs and now lower back injury.

It’s worth noting that Gronkowski isn’t one to milk an injury as we saw when he attempted to come back too early from the initial rib injury. I would imagine the Buccaneers take the cautious approach here.
Update:
The Buccaneers listed tight end Rob Gronkowski as “Full Participation”
Here’s the initial injury report for Bucs and Giants — Rob Gronkowski listed as a full participant, an encouraging step in his recovery. Antonio Brown officially did not participate, still just working on the side. pic.twitter.com/fGgh42OaDx
