Comcast SportsNet reported late Sunday evening that Patriots
TE Rob Gronkowski has broken his left forearm in Sunday’s win against the
Indianapolis Colts.
The injury, which typically carries a 6 to 8 week
rehabilitation period, would sideline Gronkowski until late December; perhaps
mid-January.
Gronkowski's injury was believed to be sustained on a
reception he made early in the 4th quarter. Following Sunday’s win,
Gronkowski had compiled 10 touchdowns on 53 receptions for a total of 748
yards.
Gronkowski had been a stalwart in the Patriots’ offense, and
the workload now falls upon Tight Ends Aaron Hernandez, Visanthe Shiancoe,
Daniel Fells, and Michael Hoomanawanui to replicate his production.
More to come on this story as it develops.
