Gronkowski carted off field with knee injury

New England Patriots star tight end Rob Gronkowski was carted off the field after suffering an apparent injury to his right leg in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos.

The Patriots announced that Gronkowski will undergo X-rays and will not return to the game.

Gronkowski suffered the injury with 2:49 remaining in the contest, when Denver defensive back Darian Stewart hit him low on an incomplete pass.

Gronkowski writhed in pain on the ground before being tended to by the Patriots medical staff and eventually carted to the locker room.
