The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced Saturday that star receiver Antonio Brown would not play in Week 11 of the NFL season. However, it's what the Buccaneers didn't say on the injury report ahead of Week 11 in the NFL that was telling in regards to tight end Rob Gronkowski and his status for Monday night against the New York Giants.
Bruce Arians says Antonio Brown is the only Buccaneer ruled out for Monday's game on today's injury report.

So it sounds like Rob Gronkowski could be back on the NFL field for the Buccaneers come Monday night. Head coach Bruce Arians wouldn't go so far, saying that the team will have several players who will be game-day decisions, per beat writer Greg Auman of The Athletic.
Barring a setback, Gronkowski will be out there for the Buccaneers. That's great news for an offense that has lacked punch lately- and even better news for quarterback Tom Brady, who is coming off of his worst performance of the season in last week's loss to the Washington Football Team.
The four-time NFL All-Pro tight end has hauled in four touchdown receptions this season, tied for second on the Buccaneers. Gronkowski just elevates the Buccaneers offense, particularly in the red zone, where his connection with Tom Brady is tough to defend.
Potentially down safety Logan Ryan, the Giants defense could have a tough time stopping Rob Gronkowski and the Buccaneers on Monday night.
