Saints overcome Winston injury, top Buccaneers 36-27

Dealing with back spasms Gronkowski has been ruled out of Sunday's game at New Orleans due to back spasms, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Gronkowski was making his first appearance Sunday since Week 3, when he suffered cracked and broken ribs and a punctured lung. He now is dealing with a new health concern, emerging from Week 8 with no catches on just one target. In Gronkowski's absence, O.J. Howard and Cameron Brate again are Tampa Bay's available tight ends.

Active in Week 8 Gronkowski (ribs) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Impact There was a healthy amount of optimism Gronkowski would be able to make his return from a four-game absence against New Orleans for Sunday's important divisional clash, and that has now been validated. Although Gronkowski's active status is certainly welcome news for both the Bucs and fantasy managers, it's worth noting that Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports the veteran could well be on a more truncated snap count than usual, with O.J. Howard and Cameron Brate available to spell him whenever necessary.

On track to play Gronkowski (ribs), who is listed as questionable, is expected to play Sunday against the Saints but may be used on a situational basis, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact After missing the Bucs' last four contests with rib and lung injuries, Gronkowski is being treated as a game-time call leading up to the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, but he looks like he'll be able to suit up if he experiences no setbacks during warmups. However, based on Stroud's report, don't expect Gronkowski to take on the 80-plus-percent snap shares he enjoyed when he was healthy during the first two weeks of the season. Stroud speculates that Gronkowski will remain a factor in the red zone and on key downs, but O.J. Howard and Cameron Brate could both rotate in to spell him throughout the day.

Game-time decision Sunday Gronkowski (ribs) is viewed as a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Saints, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Rapoport suggests that Gronkowski -- who last suited up Sept. 26 -- will likely work out before the contest to be sure he's ready to go, but the Buccaneers reportedly have some optimism about the tight end suiting up following a four-game absence. Official confirmation of Gronkowski's status will arrive once the Buccaneers release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Deemed questionable on final report Gronkowski (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in New Orleans, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Bucs listed Gronkowski as a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday, after coach Bruce Arians said Monday that he was hopeful for a return this week. Arians didn't comment on his expectations for Gronkowski at the end of the week, but it's possible there's some form of update before Sunday. The Bucs and Saints are scheduled for a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, with O.J. Howard and Cameron Brate on hand to fill in at tight end if Gronkowski misses another week.

Bumps up to all activity Gronkowski (ribs) practiced in full Thursday.

Impact It wouldn't have surprised if Gronkowski eased into his return to practice this week -- i.e. remain limited Wednesday through Friday -- due to the serious injuries he suffered back in Week 3. But the veteran tight end followed up Wednesday's capped session with an uninhibited showing one day later, setting himself up for a return Sunday at New Orleans. As for the rest of the position group, fellow tight end O.J. Howard (ankle) again was limited Thursday, while Cameron Brate continues to avoid the practice report.

Limited in return to practice Gronkowski (ribs) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Carmen Vitali of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Gronkowski got back on the practice field for the first time since he suffered cracked and fractured ribs and a punctured lung Week 3. Head coach Bruce Arians expressed hope Monday that Gronkowski will be able to return for Sunday's visit to New Orleans, and he's setting himself up to do just that with Wednesday's appearance at practice. Still, Gronkowski's status should be monitored closely Thursday and Friday, as the Buccaneers could give him a maintenance day as he gets back into the swing of things. As for the rest of the team's tight end group, O.J. Howard (ankle) was also limited Wednesday, leaving Cameron Brate as the only healthy player at the position.

Returns to practice Gronkowski (ribs) returned to practice Wednesday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact While the extent of his participation remains to be seen, this is a big step in the right direction after four consecutive missed games due to a punctured lung and fractured ribs. The Bucs don't have much reason to rush Gronkowski back into action after a serious injury, but they'll want him out there Sunday in New Orleans if he's truly healthy. Cameron Brate and O.J. Howard both have been fairly quiet while forming a TE committee in Gronk's absence.

Impact Gronkowski has missed four straight games due to a punctured lung and fractured ribs, but it looks like he's making tangible progress in his recovery. The Buccaneers will go on bye after Sunday's road matchup against the Saints, so the team could always still opt to give Gronkowski extra rest and wait until Nov. 14 at Washington to have him retake the field.

Out another week Gronkowski (ribs) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gronkowski will miss a fourth straight game, and at this point, it would be somewhat surprising if the Bucs brought him back for Week 8 against Washington, their final contest before a Week 9 bye. However, Gronkowski has only been ruled out for Week 7 at the moment, leaving O.J. Howard and Cameron Brate to continue splitting work at tight end.

OCTOBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Not seen at practice Friday Gronkowski (ribs) wasn't spotted on the field during the portion of Friday's practice that was open to the media, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gronkowski has yet to practice this week while recovering from a punctured lung and cracked and fractured ribs. The 32-year-old seems unlikely to be available for Sunday's matchup with the Bears, which would mark his fourth consecutive absence.

OCTOBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

No practice Thursday Gronkowski (ribs) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.

Impact Prior to the session, Gronkowski was spotted running while speed and conditioning coach Roger Kingdom and team trainer Bobby Slater looked on, per Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. It's unclear where Gronkowski stands in his recovery from cracked and fractured ribs and a punctured lung that he sustained back in Week 3, but he hasn't yet reached the stage where even individual drills are on the table. There's a good chance he's ruled out on the Buccaneers' final Week 7 injury report, which would leave O.J. Howard (ankle) and Cameron Brate as the team's main tight ends Sunday against the Bears.
