Rob Gronkowski: News and Notes
- Jun 19 Gronkowski underwent a lumbar discectomy Tuesday to deal with a lingering issue with a herniated disc in his back, the Patriots' official site reports. Subsequently, Dr. Robert Watkins, the surgeon who performed the operation, released a statement noting that "the surgery went well."
Recommendation: The statement adds that "the timing of his return to football will depend on his progression through the rehabilitation program." While earlier reports have speculated a 12-week recovery period likely on tap for Gronkowski, his Week 1 availability remains cloudy at this time, though NFL.com's Ian Rapoport suggests that the Patriots are holding out hope that Gronkowski could be ready to start the season.

- Jun 18 Gronkowski has undergone back surgery.
Advice: The operation was performed on Tuesday by Dr. Robert Watkins and was successful, said Drew Rosenhaus, Gronkowski's agent. On May 20, Gronkowski had his fourth surgery on the left forearm that he broke on Nov. 18 while blocking for an extra point in a 59-24 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He broke it again in the Patriots' first playoff game, a 41-28 win over the Houston Texans. Rosenhaus said the fourth surgery was expected to be the last on his forearm.
