Gronkowski is active for the Patriots for the first time this season, meaning he’ll be in full uniform and on the field when Tom Brady and Co. take the field at MetLife Stadium. While the All-Pro tight end’s return is the biggest news for the Patriots, he isn’t the only injured player returning.
Wide receiver and special teams standout Matthew Slater is active against the Jets on Sunday, too, meaning he should be out on the field manning the gunner duties once again. As for those guys not ready to suit up on Sunday, defensive lineman Tommy Kelly and cornerback Aqib Talib headline that list.
