Rob Gronkowski's X-Rays on Rib Injury Negative, Bucs HC Bruce Arians Says

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians told reporters tight end Rob Gronkowski is healthy after X-rays on his ribs were negative.

Gronkowski took a hard hit during Sunday's 34-24 loss to the Los Angeles Rams but eventually returned to the field.

The 32-year-old returned to the NFL last season after taking a year away from football, joining his long-time teammate Tom Brady with the Bucs. But he is no longer the game-changing force at tight end he was during his prime, when he was a five-time Pro Bowler and four-time first-team All-Pro selection.
