Gronkowski, who suffered the injury in Sunday's wild 27-26 win over the Cleveland Browns, will undergo an MRI on Monday, according to the source.

FoxSports earlier reported that the Patriots believed it was a torn ACL.

Fantasy Impact:

Patriots coach Bill Belichick revealed after the game that Gronkowski was taken to a hospital for evaluation, but said he didn't know any more. We should know more on Monday but it looks like fantasy owners won't have Gronk for the rest of this season. Look for Julian Edelman and Shane Vereen to pick up more targets.

“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

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.
