Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski (ribs) did not practice on Thursady/
Gronkowski's potential return to the field remains in doubt after Tampa Bay's veteran tight end logged another DNP on Thursday. Expect Cameron Brate and O.J. Howard to play in a timeshare if Gronk remains out.
In Week 6's win with Gronkowski out, Brate hauled in 3 receptions for 26 yards on a 59% offensive snap percentage while Howard produced 6 receptions for 49 yards and one touchdown on a 65% offensive rate.
