Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski suffered what is believed to be a punctured lung during Sunday night’s loss to the Seahawks, NFL Network reported Monday.
Gronkowski finished the game. The report said he might only miss one game, though it’s probably too early to tell when he might be medically cleared.
The Patriots play at the 49ers this week, then are at the Jets on Nov. 27. They don’t play a team that currently has a winning record until their Dec. 12 Monday night game with the Ravens.
Gronkowski missed the season’s first two games due to a hamstring injury. He has 25 receptions on the season, 24 over the last five games.
