The rib injury that kept Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ tight end Rob Gronkowski out of action in Week 4 will keep him out again on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. Adam Schefter confirmed that Gronkowski would be inactive for the second consecutive week.

This season, Gronk has been Tom Brady’s safety blanket in the red zone, catching four touchdown passes and 79.2% of targets for 184 yards.
Cameron Brate replaced Gronk in the starting Bucs starting lineup last week against the New England Patriots, playing 64% of the offensive snaps. Brate was targetted six times in the victory, catching two passes for 29 yards.
