The Facts:
Per a source with knowledge of the situation, Gronkowski remains week to week. He’ll be questionable for next week. He’ll remain questionable until he plays.

According to PFT's Mike Florio, the current delay comes more from his twice-broken (in different places) and surgically infected forearm than his back. Inevitably, Gronkowski will play. Meanwhile, through all the various reports and counter-reports that Gronkowski will play, won’t play, Florio points out there’s one group that largely has escaped mentioned -- the doctors. In this case, the most likely explanation is the one that hasn’t been mentioned, at least not until NBC’s Scott Pioli broached the subject during Football Night in America. HC Bill Belichick won’t be listening to Gronkowski’s “camp” or his agent or his father or anyone but the player, the trainers, and the doctors. Pioli went on to suggest that Belichick likely takes some degree of pleasure in the fact that Gronkowski’s status has created so much confusion and uncertainty. Every week until he plays, the opponent will have to prepare for Gronkowski’s potential presence. "So ignore the noise," Florio wrote. "Belichick definitely is. And when the doctors tell Belichick that Gronkowski is ready to play, that’s when Gronkowski will play."
