Gronkowski practices again, but Brady doesn't

Tom Brady was a no-show at the New England Patriots practice on Wednesday, ahead of Sunday's trip to play the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to NFL.com.


Any reason to panic? Probably not. Brady missed a few practices last season in the stretch with little issues, and I'm assuming this is on a similar line. Besides, he's taking a bit of a beating in the last two weeks against two of the more physical defenses in the NFL.

On the more positive side of things, Tight End Rob Gronkowski was at practice for the second straight time. Whether this means he'll play on Sunday or not, I don't know. Personally, I don't think he should play. It was reported as a 4-6 week injury, and this Sunday will be the fifth week, so if he's ready to go, that's fine by me.

My plan: Send Gronk out for the second half of the Miami Dolphins game, and pile on the points. Sending out a message of "Gronk's back, so don't f**k with us".
