It’s the sight no one wanted to see, and it happened Sunday night out in Denver.

With just over 2-minutes to go in the game, Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski took a shot to his right knee that left him writhing in pain on the ground, and it didn’t look good as the veteran didn’t get up after the hit.

He was later carted off, looking completely dejected. Gronkowski talked quite a bit back in training camp about how great he felt and how nice it was being able to spend the offseason getting stronger instead of having to come back from an injury.
