Schefter later revealed that Gronk had passed a physical, confirming his return to the NFL. FOX’s Jay Glazer tweeted that Rob Gronkowski was more than ready to return to football, per a text from Gronkowski himself.
In his first comments since getting traded to the #Bucs @RobGronkowski just texted me the following “I’m back. I always said when I have that feeling and it feels right, I will be ready to take the field again. And I have that feeling. I’m ready.” @NFLonFOX
