Gronkowski likely a game-time decision Sunday

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (MyFoxBoston.com) -- There was no official word Saturday as to whether or not New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski will play this week.

The Patriots face their toughest challenger of the season Sunday as the undefeated New Orleans Saints come to town.

Earlier in the week, many speculated Gronkowski would make his debut against the saints. However, according to reports Gronk has yet to be cleared by his physician, Dr. James Andrews.

It appears Gronk will likely be a game-time decision.
