Patriots Announce Injury Report Including Rob Gronkowski

Contrary to previous years, Bill Belichick has released a tiny injury report. I honestly can't remember the last time the report was this small.

Limited

Tight End Rob Gronkowski - Knee

Defensive Tackle Sealver Siliga - Hand

Defensive Tackle Chris Jones - Ankle

Defensive End Michael Buchanan - Ankle

That's the whole list. No Aaron Dobson. No Dominique Easley. No Vince Wilfork. No Jerod Mayo. No Tom Brady's shoulder. No Foxboro flu. No case of rookie toe stubbing. No one with hurt feelings. No mind games.

Just four simple injuries that we were all expecting. Gronk is still recovering and hasn't seen the field in the pre-season. He'll be on a snap count for the first few weeks of the season. Siliga and Jones have returned to practice and it's likely Jones will be held out a little bit longer.

Losing Buchanan would thin out an already thin position group. He tweaked it during the final preseason game. Let's hope he recovers quickly.
