Report: Buccaneers 'Optimistic' About Rob Gronkowski Playing Monday Night

Rob Gronkowski has been plagued by injuries so far this season. With the extra day of rest in Week 11, thanks to the Buccaneers playing on Monday Night Football, we may see him return to the field for the first time in nearly a month.

Responding to a fan who asked about Gronkowski's status for Monday's game against the Giants, The Athletic's Greg Auman says the team has remained hushed about the star tight end's status.

"All expectations after Saturday were Gronkowski and team optimistic about him playing and making a healthy return tonight," Auman shared on Twitter.
