One of the best sights of Sunday’s Patriots win against the Dolphins was seeing Tight End, Rob Gronkowski, back on the field. Gronkowski had missed 5 weeks after breaking his forearm during an extra point attempt late in the 4th quarter of a Patriots blow out against the Colts. Since his injury, the Patriots had won all but one game, but not having Gronkowski on the offense hurt ,as the offense didn’t play as well as they should have.

Not having Gronk on the field seemed to hurt Brady, as he had one less reliable body to throw to.
When Gronkowski starting practicing with the team again a few weeks ago, the big question was when would hi...
