FOXBORO, Mass. — Rob Gronkowski was unable to complete Monday’s New England Patriots-Chicago Bears practice after suffering an apparent injury during 7-on-7 drills.
The Patriots tight end appeared to tweak something in his leg on the first play of 7-on-7s as a pass from quarterback Tom Brady sailed over his head. He slowly walked down the sideline, removed his helmet and watched a few more minutes of the drill before exiting the main practice fields.
Gronkowski, who walked off under his own power, had been a full participant in all training camp practices but did not play in last Thursday’s preseason opener against the New Orleans Saints.
The Patriots and Bears will hold two more joint practices Tuesday and Wednesday ahead of their preseason matchup Thursday night at Gillette Stadium.
