The New England Patriots are no longer listing Rob Gronkowski on the injury report. That means he’s ready to rock versus the New York Jets in Week 6.
Rob Gronkowski injury update: What the Patriots TE’s status means vs. the Jets
Gronk has already had several different injuries this season.

The latest injury plaguing Gronk is a thigh issue he sustained in a Week 4 loss to the Carolina Panthers. He missed practice Wednesday before returning for back-to-back limited sessions to end the week. He also was limited earlier this season with a groin injury sustained in Week 2.
The Patriots are very close to the vest with injuries, so don’t be surprised if Gronk is a surprise inactive, just as he was in Week 5. The Patriots don’t want this to become a lingering injury for the rest of the season.
Fantasy Impact: If Gronkowski is active, he is a must-start vs. the Jets. If he is inactive, backup Dwayne Allen becomes a low-end TE2 in Week 6, but looks like a certainty that Gronk plays.
