Rob Gronkowski did not attend his practice on Tuesday
Although his absence from Tuesday’s practice does not reveal that he will be unavailable against the Bears this Sunday but this update on the All-Pro tight end is a bit discouraging.
With Gronkowski on the sidelines, his partnership with Tom Brady has been put on hold since the third week of the regular season. During those three games, he had 16 receptions for 184 yards and four touchdowns. Fortunately, the Buccaneers have an abundance of talent in the tight end spot, which keeps the squad intact.

Light walkthrough for Bucs today with a bonus practice. Didn’t see Rob Gronkowski today at all. Encouraging to see Winfield, David, Sherman, though the latter two might need another week.
