Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez were both limited in Patriots practice on Thursday. While Gronkowski is expected not to miss any time, it s unclear whether Aaron Hernandez will be able to step on the field this weekend.

Fantasy Impact: If you typically check the Patriots injury report early in the week, you’ll likely see a small army. Owners shouldn’t worry about Gronk at this point. He played every offensive snap last week, and it doesn’t look like anything is slowing him down right now. Hernandez, on the other hand, hasn’t played in weeks. His status for Sunday is still up in the air. Be sure to check back to see where he stands going into Week 6.
