New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski has put an end to the speculations that he will retire this season. The 28-year-old reportedly met with Patriots’ coach Bill Belichick on Tuesday and confirmed he will return to the team for 2018 season.

“It was very positive, and Rob is committed,” – player’s agent Drew Rosenhaus told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Gronkowski also confirmed his decision via Instagram post.

“I met with coach today and informed him I will be back for the 2018 season with the Pats.” – Gronk wrote. “I have been working out, staying in shape and feel great. Looking forward to another championship run.“

Rob Gronkowski teased his retirement after Super Bowl LII loss against the Philadelphia Eagles, saying that he will take some time and think about his future in the offseason.

“I don’t know how you heard that, but I mean, I’m definitely going to look at my future, for sure,” – said Gronkowski at the time. “I’m going to sit down in the next couple of weeks and

see where I’m at.”
One of the reasons Gronk considered retirement at such a young age were concerns about his health. During his professional career, he had three back surgeries as well as procedures on his knee and forearm. His last back surgery came in 2016 when he was limited to playing only eight games in the season. In 2017 regular season he missed two games, one due to a thigh injury and one because of suspension, but still managed to lead the Patriots with 69receptions, which counted for 1,084 yards and eight touchdowns.

During his time with the New England Patriots, Rob Gronkowski won two Super Bowls (XLIX, LI), earned five First-team All-Pro honors and five Pro Bowl selections. He also received NFL Comeback Player of the Year award in 2014 and was NFL receiving touchdowns leader in 2011.

One of the burning questions which surrounded the upcoming Super Bowl LII was the condition of New England Patriots’ tight end Rob Gronkowski. Gronkowski suffered a concussion in the AFC Championship Game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and there was even doubt that he will participate in the Super Bowl game. Luckily for the Patriots, Gronkowski has been cleared from concussion protocol on Sunday and will play against the Philadelphia Eagles.

“[I] officially got the word today that I was cleared. So it was super nice to hear from the doctors going through the whole process and I’m ready to roll,” – said Gronk. “I’ll be full-speed, taking on hits, blocking, running routes, whatever it might be.“

The 28-year old All-Pro tight end returned to practice on Saturday but wasn’t participating in full until Thursday.

Rob Gronkowski was diagnosed with a concussion in the second quarter of the game against the Jags. The helmet of Jacksonville safety Barry Church, who was defending a pass that was coming towards Gronk, made contact, forcing him to leave the game early.

Although the New England Patriots would still be favorites without Gronkowski on the field, having won the Super Bowl last year with him being injured, having their star tight end on the field opens the world of possibilities for the team. He was the Patriots leader in this season in both receptions with 69 and receiving yards with 1,084. He also added 7 touchdowns in the regular season and one in the playoffs.

The New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski received a one-game suspension from NFL for his late hit on Buffalo Bills cornerback Tre’Davious White. The incident happened in the fourth quarter of Patriots 23-3 win over the Bills. White was covering Gronkowski on a play and managed to intercept a pass while falling to the ground. With White still on the ground, Gronkowski hit him with an elbow. Gronkowski was penalized for unnecessary roughness while White suffered a concussion.

This was the first time Gronkowski was suspended since he entered the league in 2010. He appealed on the decision unsuccessfully and will miss the upcoming game against the Miami Dolphins. Gronkowski, however, did apologize to White for his actions.

“Just wanna apologize to Tre’Davious White. I don’t really believe in type of shots like that.” – said Gronkowski to the reporters after the game. “I mean, I feel like he was trying to push me a little bit and made the play. I just don’t understand why there wasn’t a flag. A couple times in the game. They are calling me for the craziest, craziest stuff ever and it’s just like, crazy. I mean, like what am I supposed to do? And then they don’t call that, I mean. It was just frustration and that’s what happened.“

Rob Gronkowski is currently leading the New England Patriots with 55 catches and seven receiving touchdowns. He also managed 849 receiving yards in 2017 season, which is the second-best among all Patriots’ players.

Tre’Davious White, on the other hand, was having a solid rookie campaign so far, managing 46 tackles and three interceptions in 12 games he played. He was drafted by the Bills with the 27th pick in the first round of 2017 NFL Draft. White is in concussion protocol after the hit and practiced on a limited basis on Wednesday.
