BLOOMINGTON, Minn. — New England tight end Rob Gronkowski, who suffered a concussion in the Patriots 24-20 AFC championship win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Jan. 21, was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. It was the Patriots first practice this week as they prepare for Super Bowl LII on Sunday in Minneapolis against the Eagles.
Gronkowski, who practiced in pads, is still working his way through concussion protocol.
“We red-jerseyed him today, so he’s working his way back,” Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. (Players in red jerseys can’t be subject to contact).
In addition, other limited participants were defensive linemen Deatrich Wise (concussion) and Malcom Brown (foot).
