Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski will miss his return trip to New England because of a rib injury. The team downgraded Gronkowski to out and he did not travel with the Super Bowl champions for Sunday night’s anticipated matchup with the Patriots. Gronkowski was listed as doubtful on Friday. It will mark the first game he has missed since he came out of retirement to play alongside Tom Brady with the Buccaneers.
