The Boston Globe reports Rob Gronkowski (forearm) will not play versus the Jaguars in Week 16. NFL Network confirms the report.
No surprise here. ESPN's Adam Schefter has been saying the Patriots' plan all along was to hold out Gronkowski until giving him a brief tuneup in the season finale. Aaron Hernandez, Wes Welker, and Brandon Lloyd will continue to carry the load in the Patriots' passing attack against the Jaguars. Gronk should be close to 100 percent for the NFL playoffs, even if the Pats don't secure a bye.
