ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski (back) is "highly unlikely" to play in Week 7. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

While Gronkowski was already limited in practice earlier in the week with an ankle injury, he also popped up on the Friday injury report with a back issue. Although Gronkowski is "highly unlikely" to play on Sunday against the Bears, he has not yet been ruled out, which is hard to believe as he did not travel with the team to Chicago. While there remains a slight chance that he could play, his fantasy owners should prepare to sit him as an inactive designation is the likeliest of scenarios. Dwayne Allen and Stephen Anderson are next in line if Gronk is out.
