The New England Patriots listed their first injury report ahead of next week's LII showdown with the Eagles, and while the report was just based on a practice projection, it did provide an update on Rob Gronkowski's status.
Gronkowski was listed as "did not participate" due to a concussion on the report. The Patriots did not practice Wednesday, so the listing is a projection on what would have occurred if they had.
This marks the first time that Gronkowski officially was listed with a concussion since Sunday's win over the Jaguars in the AFC Championship Game. The All-Pro tight end exited the game in the first half with what at the time was called a "head injury" after enduring a big hit from Jacksonville safety Barry Church.
Gronkowski will have to be cleared by an independent neurologist before being permitted to play in the . So get ready for plenty more updates on his status as we get closer to Feb. 4.
