New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski (knee) may be ready to participate at the start of training camp, but the team probably will be cautious with him early in camp.

Footballguys View: We can’t imagine Gronkowski doing too much at the start of camp. The team will ease him into the lineup in the preseason in order to have him ready for Week 1 of the regular season.
