Gronkowski did not participate in Friday's practice for a non-injury related reason, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gronkowski was a full participant at Thursday's practice, so this could potentially just be a routine day off. His status at Saturday's practice should bring more clarity to the situation. The veteran tight end hauled in two passes on three targets for 51 yards and a touchdown in last week's 46-23 victory over the Panthers.

Gronkowski secured two of three targets for 51 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 46-23 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran tight end closed out the scoring on the afternoon with a seven-yard grab at the 4:24 mark of the fourth quarter. However, the highlight of Gronkowski's afternoon was arguably his earlier reception, when he carried multiple Panthers on his back en route to a 44-yard gain. Gronkowki's target share likely is going to fluctuate more than ever with Antonio Brown acclimating to the offense, but the 31-year-old Gronk could have an impact in a Week 11 Monday night matchup versus a Rams defense that's proven adept at limiting wide receiver production.

Gronkowski brought in one of six targets for two yards in the Buccaneers' 38-3 loss to the Saints on Sunday night.

EDGE Analysis

In what was a nightmarish evening for the Buccaneers as a whole, Gronkowski put together his least productive performance since being blanked on one target against the Panthers back in Week 2. Gronkowski had recorded between three and five receptions in four straight games and caught a touchdown in three of them, so the downturn Sunday was particularly jarring. Antonio Brown did make his Bucs debut in the game as well, but it's worth noting that didn't lead to lack of opportunity for Gronkowski in a game script that skewed heavily toward the pass -- the multi-time Pro Bowler tied several teammates for the team lead in targets. Gronkowski will be one of many players looking to put this loss firmly behind them in a Week 10 road battle against the Panthers.

Gronkowski caught all four of his targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 25-23 win over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Gronkowski hauled in a three-yard touchdown midway through the third quarter, giving him a score in three straight showings. With at least four receptions in each game over that span as well, the veteran is slowly becoming a bigger factor for the Bucs. While that's helped his stock lately, it'll be interesting to see how Tampa Bay's targets are divided once wideout Chris Godwin (finger) and new addition Antonio Brown join him among quarterback Tom Brady's bevy of options.

Gronkowski (shoulder) has been cleared to play in Monday's matchup against against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Gronkowski was limited in consecutive practices earlier in the week due to a shoulder issue, but he was able to practice fully Saturday en route to getting the green light for Monday's game. Barring any setbacks, look for the veteran tight end to take on his usual role with the team, one that could have him serve as important part of the game plan with Chris Godwin out and Antonio Brown not yet eligible to play.

Gronkowski (shoulder) remained limited Friday at practice, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gronkowski played through the same shoulder issue last week and caught five of eight targets for 62 yards and a touchdown in a 45-20 win over the Raiders. He's coming of three straight games with at least six targets and 52 yards, and there hasn't been any suggestion he's in real danger of missing Monday's matchup with the Giants.

Gronkowski (shoulder) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

A shoulder issue has plagued Gronkowski for the past few weeks, but his snap count hasn't suffered, as he's logged at least 70 percent of the plays on offense in six of seven games this season. On top of that, he's found pay dirt in back-to-back games, combining for 10 catches (on 16 targets) for 140 yards and the pair of scores during that stretch. Assuming he continues to play through the injury Monday versus the Giants, Gronkowski could be in line for even more work with Chris Godwin (finger) expected to be sidelined.

Gronkowski could be set for an expanded role in Monday night's Week 8 game against the Giants with Chris Godwin (finger) ruled out for the contest.

EDGE Analysis

Jenna Laine of ESPN.com confirms Godwin fractured his index finger on his fourth-quarter touchdown reception in Sunday's win over the Raiders and will be forced to miss Week 8 at minimum. Gronkowski has only generated a combined 4-82 line on 10 targets over the three prior games Godwin has missed this season with a concussion and a hamstring injury, but he's shown clear signs of being back to full football shape and having a firm grasp of coach Bruce Arians' offense of late. The multi-time Pro Bowler well head into Monday night's contest riding the wave of his best two-game stretch as a Buccaneer, as he posted 10 receptions for 140 yards and two touchdowns against the Packers and Raiders in Weeks 6 and 7, respectively.

Gronkowski brought in five of eight targets for 62 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 45-20 win over the Raiders on Sunday. He also fumbled once, but it was recovered by the offense.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran tight end continued an upward trajectory that began in Week 3, posting five grabs, including a touchdown, on eight targets for the second consecutive contest. After bringing in just two of four targets for 11 yards over his first pair of contests, the 31-year-old has increasingly rounded into form with a 20-280-2 line over the subsequent five games. While Gronkowski's overall numbers are highly unlikely to match those of his heyday in New England due to the Buccaneers having so many mouths to feed on offense, he should have another chance to offer solid production at a volatile fantasy position during a Week 8 Monday night battle against the vulnerable Giants.

Gronkowski (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

EDGE Analysis

Gronkowski opened the week with an absence from practice but upgraded to limited participation Thursday and a full session Friday. He had his best game of the season in last week's 38-10 win over the Packers, and he's averaging six targets over his past four games.
