Gronkowski (back/ankle) will go through a pregame warmup Sunday before his status is decided for the Patriots' game against the Packers, but the team is concerned about his availability, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The same applies to top running back Sony Michel (knee), potentially leaving the Patriots without two of their best playmakers in the Sunday night matchup. Given the contest's 8:20 p.m. EST kickoff, fantasy owners could be motivated to explore other options at tight end in Week 9 lineups, as few alternatives would be on hand if Gronkowski ends up being sidelined for the second time in three weeks. Dwayne Allen would likely absorb the brunt of the snaps at tight end if Gronkowski is sidelined, but the Patriots deploy Allen almost exclusively as a blocker when he's on the field.
