Gronkowski (back) is listed as active Monday against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

In the midst of an injury-plagued season, Gronkowski's most recent health concern is back spasms, which limited him to five snaps Week 8 and inactive status in the Bucs' last game Week 10. He was able to practice in full Thursday and Friday, but on Saturday's injury report he was listed as a non-participant with "back, not-injury related - resting player." It appears the DNP was intentional to keep Gronkowski as fresh as possible, and Adam Schefter of ESPN reported earlier Monday that the tight end was slated to play, assuming he avoided a setback during pregame warmups. Gronkowski has done just that and will join Cameron Brate and O.J. Howard to form a formidable TE trio for Tampa Bay.
