FOXBORO -- Not the greatest news for Rob Gronkowski.
The Patriots tight end missed practice Thursday with ankle/back injuries after being limited on Wednesday. It is worth noting Thursday's practice was in full pads, while Wednesday was just a walkthrough.
In addition, Nicholas Grigsby (illness) missed practice, along with Brian Schwenke (foot) and Shaq Mason (calf).
There was some good news as after missing Wednesday, Julian Edelman (ankle), Deatrich Wise (illness) and Jacob Hollister (hamstring) returned.
