Patriots | Rob Gronkowski’s numbers down
New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski’s season averages are down across the board so far in 2012. His receptions are down nearly a catch per game from last season and he’s gaining about 30 fewer yards each week. He is averaging 4.7 receptions and 52 yards per contest this season, as opposed to 5.6 receptions and 82.9 yards in 2011. TE Aaron Hernandez (ankle) being sidelined with an ankle injury, New England’s inconsistent pass protection and QB Tom Brady’s struggles with downfield throws have all contributed to Gronkowski’s slow start.

Bills | Fred Jackson feels good after practice
Buffalo Bills RB Fred Jackson (knee) said he felt OK following practice Wednesday, Sept. 26, but is uncertain at this point if he will play in Week 4. ‘I felt OK about practice today. That was good,’ Jackson said. ‘I think what’s going to determine more than anything is how I’m feeling like the next day. If I can come out here and continue to work, that’ll help get me better. But if I wake up tomorrow and it’s swollen or too sore to do anything, then that’s going to set me back.’

Bernadeau could be replaced in the starting lineup by OG Derrick Dockery. ‘We want more from him,’ Callahan said. ‘I’ve made this point to him.

We’re going to keep working to get you better.”
