Star New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski left a joint practice early with a hamstring injury back in August, and the injury is apparently still bothering him. Gronk mi sed the Pats' Wesley Matthews Jersey Week 1 game against the Arizona Cardinals, and the Patriots listed him as inactive for Week 2 against the Dolphins as well. inactives. New England Patriots (@Patriots) Martellus Bennett will continue to fill in for Gronkowski as the No. 1 tight end, but he was not used as the same Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Jersey type of receiving threat against the Cards. Bennett was held in to block on 43 of his 69 snaps, per Pro Football Focus, including 13 of 39 pa s plays. Gronkowski has typically been a blocker on around 10 percent of pa s plays during his career, as opposed to the 33 percent on which Bennett blocked on Monday night.It's po sible that was a Cardinals- Quinn Cook Jersey specific plan from Bill Belichick, given that Arizona has been the blitz-happiest team in the league over the last three seasons and it was Jimmy Garoppolo's first start, but it's also po sible that the New England offense could simply look much different (conceptually) with Garoppolo Brandon Ingram Jersey at the helm than it normally does with Tom Brady. For Gronkowski, it's certainly a concern than the injury is still keeping him on the sideline. It's the first time he'll mi s consecutive games since 2013, when he sat out the first six and last three games of the year. Hamstring injuries are notoriously lingering affairs, and the Pats don't want it Jordan Bell Jersey to turn into something that lasts all season, but they could certainly use him back as soon as po sible.
