NFL WEEK 2 INJURIES
Relax, Patriots fans. Rob Gronkowski is fine. Gronkowski spent the fourth quarter on the sidelines – on a stationary bike on the sidelines, to be exact – with a groin injury, his return listed as questionable. But Gronkowski said after the game that he was fine. When reporters approached him in the locker room after the game he said he’d talk Monday, but added that he wanted people to know he was OK. “I’m good,” he said. Gronkowski spent the last month of last season on injured reserve with a herniated disc in his back. He scored his first touchdown since Oct. 30 in the first quarter Sunday, a 53-yard reception.
