Source: Pats' Gronkowski likely out vs. Bucs

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is not expected to play Thursday night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers because of a thigh injury, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The Patriots' star tight end was a late addition to the team's injury report Wednesday and was listed as questionable for the game.

He had not been listed on the injury report Monday or Tuesday.

Gronkowski also didn't appear to be ailing when he met with reporters late Tuesday afternoon. He played all 70 offensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Carolina Panthers.
