The Patriots' acquisition of Buccaneers tight end Timothy Wright does not mean New England is worried about Rob Gronkowski's progress, reports ESPN's Adam Schefter. Gronkowski is in a "good spot" as he comes back from ACL surgery, and this deal "provides depth, options," the report said.
Gronkowski has not played in the preseason. His status for Week 1 is unknown, though Gronk has said he plans to play all 16 games.
