FOXBORO, MASS. (WHDH) - New England Patriots star tight end Rob Gronkowski is expected to play Thursday night against the Indianapolis Colts at Gillette Stadium after he was limited all week with an ankle injury, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Gronkowski did not practice on Monday and Tuesday and was a limited participant on Wednesday. He appeared hobbled in Sunday’s win over the Miami Dolphins and departed the game early.
Pass-catching extraordinaire Julian Edelman is also expected to play in the game after serving a four-game PED suspension to begin the season.
If Gronkowski does indeed suit up, it will mark the first game he and Edelman take the field together since Nov. 27, 2016, ESPN’s Field Yates noted.
New England and Indianapolis kickoff at 8:20 p.m.
Patriots’ TE Rob Gronkowski is expected to be active tonight vs. the Colts despite the questionable status that limited his practice time this week as well as his availability Sunday, per source.
