'No timetable' for Gronk's return

Dec 01, 2015

The Patriots issued a statement clarifying the status of Rob Gronkowski on Tuesday and said they have "no timetable" for the tight end's return to the field.

The team also confirmed that Gronkowski suffered a "bone bruise/sprain of his right knee" in Sunday's loss at Denver.

The Herald had reported Monday that the recovery time for Gronkowski's injury was 1-2 weeks. ESPN reported he would miss "multiple weeks."

That the Patriots issued their statement in conjunction with Gronkowski's family indicates the two sides are working together.

Fantasy Impact:

For owners, this sounds more scary than it actually may be. The Pats aren't in any hurry to go into details about Gronk's injury and how long he'll be out. He seems unlikely to play this week against the Eagles, but we may have a better indication when the injury report comes out on Wednesday.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
