Fantasy Impact
Per Howe, Gronkowski has practiced in full in each of the past two days and "baring a setback, clearing the concussion protocol is far more about when than if." In other words, with kickoff roughly six days away, the elite tight end is on track to play. Though, a confirmed designation is not expected until the end of the week.
