As you already know, Gronk didn't play against the Cardinals due to a hamstring injury he suffered around a month ago. He didn't even make the trip to Arizona, which tells you he's not 100 percent and could miss the game against the Dolphins.

The Pats face the Texans after Miami in a short week for Thursday Night Football. ESPN's Adam Schefter is saying that Gronk could sit the next two games.

The New England Patriots flew out to Arizona on Friday for a game this weekend. They didn’t bring their tight end, Rob Gronkowski. He was not well enough to make that trip, so that tells you there’s a question mark about whether or not he’ll be able to play this upcoming week against Miami. And the following week, the Patriots play a Thursday night game on a shortened week against the Houston Texans. So, I think there’s real questions about whether Rob Gronkowski can play the first few games of this season at this point in time.

I understand that it is smart to hold him out until he's 100%. The Miami game doesn't bother me, but Houston is going to be tough. We'll keep you updated.
