Rob Gronkowski out after injuring back vs. Jets

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski went to the locker room after suffering an injury against the New York Jets on Sunday.

Gronk apparently suffered a back injury in the first quarter against the Jets in East Rutherford. The Patriots have ruled him out for the rest of the game.

It’s not the first time this season Gronkowski has dealt with injury. Gronkowski had been on the injury report during the week after he missed last week’s win over the 49ers with a perforated lung.

Fortunately for Patriots, Gronkowski is not expected to miss any games:

The Patriots’ No. 2 tight end, Martellus Bennett, went to the sideline to get his ankle checked out in the third quarter. He later returned to the game.
