Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Rob Gronkowski, Jason Pierre-Paul out vs. New England Patriots, sources say

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski is not traveling to New England on Saturday and will be out for Sunday night's game against the Patriots because of his rib injury, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Buccaneers linebacker Jason Pierre-Paul also did not travel with the team and is out with hand and shoulder injuries, a senior team official told ESPN's Sal Paolantonio.

Gronkowski had been considered unlikely to play, as he was listed as doubtful and did not participate in practice all week, though he was seen at practice Friday during the portion open to the media.
