New England Patriots' Rob Gronkowski hurting in victory because of thigh injury originally appeared on nbcsportsboston.com
ATLANTA -- Rob Gronkowski had the last locker before the showers in the Patriots dressing room. The game had ended an hour before but Gronk still had his jersey and shoulder pads on.
His pants? Not on. He was in his underwear and he kept pressing on his thigh.
"Look at this," he said.
I looked at the side of his thigh where he was poking. It looked stupidly big. Swollen from just above the knee for about 20 inches.
