NFL Injury Report

Gronkowski might play at Tennessee

All-Pro tight end makes the flight to Nashville

The Patriots have left for Tennessee, and Rob Gronkowski and Sony Michel are on the plane. Too early to say with 100 percent confidence they’ll play against the Titans, but New England doesn’t typically bring players to road games unless it feels there’s a decent chance they’ll play.

Michel seems to be the healthier of the two. Speculation all week has been that he would play. With Gronkowski, fantasy leaguers should still shy away from starting him until they can confirm that he’s at least active.

Also on Saturday, Washington downgraded Jamison Crowder from questionable to out. Crowder has been out for the last month with a high ankle sprain, but he at least participated in two practices. We’ll take that as evidence that he’ll likely be back in the starting lineup next week. For the game tomorrow in Tampa, Jordan Reed, Maurice Harris and Josh Doctson more likely will be their leading receivers.

The two Monday night teams have submitted their injury reports, but neither is particularly notable. The Giants say they’re healthy (though they did make a notable roster move today, releasing starting guard Patrick Omameh – a free agent miss).

The 49ers list three starters as out, LB Reuben Foster (hamstring), S Jaquiski Tartt (shoulder) and Pierre Garcon (knee). With Garcon out, Kendrick Bourne will start on Monday night. Formerly an undrafted free agent, Bourne has been surprisingly productive this year, catching 19 passes for 197 yards and 3 TDs. Some chance that Bourne outperforms a few of the other wide receivers starting in large fantasy leagues this week.
