Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski underwent surgery on his back Tuesday, a procedure that the team expected him to have but not this late in the offseason. A televised report from ESPN said Gronkowski’s surgery was delayed because of the issues he had with his forearm earlier in the year. As a result it “does seem certain” according to NFL Insider Adam Schefter that Gronkowski will begin training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list. Gronkowski could potentially stay on the PUP list through the first six weeks of the season.
