#Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski will have back surgery (as @viccarucci mentioned). Injury is worse than anticipated. It’s happening tomorrow.

Rob Gronkowski's back injury worse than thought. He is getting surgery tomorrow, per source. No time frame on possible return.

Rob Gronkowski's back problems are why he was available to Pats in the 2nd round, why he signed his extension 2 years early. Not good.
