Gronkowski is undergoing further tests to determine the exact
nature of the ailment but was injured during the Patriots' 31-24
loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.
It was unclear when Gronkowski sustained the injury but he
missed five plays after taking a big hit from Seattle safety
Earl Thomas.
"That was a big hit - probably one of the hardest I've got hit
in my career, for sure," Gronkowski told reporters on Sunday.
"It's a little tough to breathe, but once it comes back, you're
good. He hit me fair and square. It's football."
On the game's final play, Gronkowski and Seahawks safety Kam
Chancellor got tangled up in the end zone on an incomplete pass.
Without the four-time Pro Bowler, New England will turn to
Martellus Bennett, who recorded seven catches for 102 yards
against Seattle.
