Gronkowski (back) was spotted at the portion of Tuesday's practice that was open to the media, but wasn't doing much other than tossing a football around, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Buccaneers won't release their first Week 10 injury report until Wednesday, but the team is holding a workout Tuesday after spending the past week on bye. The open date in the schedule provided additional time for Gronkowski to recover from the back spasms that limited him to just five snaps in his last appearance Oct. 31 against the Saints, but the future Hall of Famer still can't be considered a safe bet to play this weekend in Washington. Gronkowski's presence at Tuesday's practice is a positive sign, but a clearer idea on his Week 10 status likely won't come until the Bucs release their final practice report of the week Friday.
