New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski (knee) said his knee is improving, but he hesitated to give any timetable or if he’ll be ready for the season opener. ‘Oh man, that’s too far away. I’m just improving every day right now,’ Gronkowski said. ‘I’m working hard every day to put myself in the best situation so that I’m ready.’

Footballguys View: Good news for the Patriots here. His recovery from knee surgery has gone according to plan so far, and he joined his teammates for the voluntary offseason program, which started April 21. The offense isn’t the same without him. It will be a boost for Tom Brady to have Gronkowski back on the field.
