Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski Injured--Again; Out for the Season [UPDATE]

It hasn't been a great season for the New England Patriots. Yes, they've been winning, but they've had to pull off some pretty impressive second half performances to get the job done sometimes. Now it did get easier once Rob Gronkowski returned....

But now he's injured again.

The Gronk had to be taken to the locker room on a cart so it doesn't look good for him and the Patriots. They are actually getting shut out by the Cleveland Browns with 2:53 left in the third!

Yes, those Browns!

Now this really sucks.

Source says Rob Gronkowski suffered what's believed to be a torn ACL. MRI tomorrow to confirm. Not surprising but another bad break for him.

To add insult to injury he got a concussion as well, and will not be back for a very long time:
