The New England Patriots have lost tight end Rob Gronkowski for the season after he tore his ACL and MCL during yesterday's win over the Cleveland Browns. The Patriots improved greatly when Gronkowski returned from injury earlier this year, but will now have to finish the season without him.

After being absent from practice and listed on the injury report with a concussion on Wednesday, Nate Solder returned to the Dana-Farber Field House on Thursday morning.
With Dobson back, Patriots practice attendance is perfect
53-man + 8-Practice Squad

His presence on the practice field today meant every player on the 53-man active roster and eight-man practice squad was taking part in practice – a rare perfect attendance.
With New England temps again in the upper 20s, the team once again took their workout indoors in the Dana-Farber Field House to help prepare for the warmer climate they’ll face this Sunday in Miami.
It remains unclear just how much Dobson was able to do in practice (media was forced to leave following the stretching period) or if he’ll be available for the game on Sunday against the Dolphins. In all likelihood, though, Dobson will be inactive for the next game. His status, and those of all the other injured players on the team, will be updated later this afternoon with the final injury report of the week.
