#Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski's toughness would never be questioned. But finishing a game with a punctured lung is something else.

Gronkowski is only expected to miss one game with the injury. He has caught 25 passes for 540 yards and three touchdowns in seven games so far this season.

Heyward to miss rest of season
Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Cameron Heyward announced on Instagram that he will miss the rest of the season after suffering a torn pectoral muscle:

 

I would like to thank everyone who has been in my corner this season. It pains me to say that I will not get to continue playing this season. My role will change as I can not play but it will not change the goals the team has set out. My support for this team will only grow and I look forward in watching this team grow and fight on. Hate being on the sideline but there is a greater plan taking place. My patience will be tested but I look forward to 2017. My hand will remain in the pile no matter what!
