Rob Gronkowski
Michael Giardi of NFL Media reports that the Patriots blamed Tom Brady‘s medical advisor Alex Guerrero in part for TE Rob Gronkowski‘s injury woes this season.
“Internally, the Patriots feel like Gronkowski brought some of this on himself,” Giardi said. “When he reported, he came in not as strong, not as fast, and not as explosive…The injuries popped up to the ankle, to the Achilles, to the back…The Patriots feel as though if he had done it their way, as opposed to the TB12 way, which Gronk is devoted to, maybe things would have been different.”
