Gronkowski (back) didn't practice Wednesday, but he was able to run and jog off to the side, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Greg Auman of The Athletic adds that Gronkowski did much more work than Antonio Brown (ankle) but wasn't wearing any pads. The tight end returned from his rib/lung injury Week 8 against the Saints, but he then left in the first quarter with back spasms and apparently is still dealing with the issue after a Week 9 bye. Given his age and history of back injuries, Gronkowski might be a bit more inclined toward patience this time around. However, he hasn't been ruled out, and he at least seems to be progressing faster than Brown as the Bucs prepare to face Washington on Sunday.
