Buccaneers Get Good News on Rob Gronkowski Injury Update

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers matchup against the New England Patriots won't just be a homecoming for Tom Brady, but for Rob Gronkowski as well. However, after suffering a Week 3 rib injury, the tight end's status for Week 4 was called into serious question.

NFL insider Ian Rapoport recently reported on Gronk's status for Sunday Night Football and revealed a promising bit of news.

According to Rapoport, "there's no way" that the 11-year NFL veteran tight end will miss a chance to take on the Patriots in Foxborough.

Leading into one of the most-anticipated regular season games on the NFL calendar, the Buccaneers are 7-point road favorites on FanDuel Sportsbook.
