Gronkowski returns to Patriots practice

FOXBORO -- Rob Gronkowski is back at practice.
The Patriots tight end, who's been recovering from a forearm break suffered in Week 11, was back with the team for Friday's session. Gronkowski was wearing a long-sleeve shirt underneath his jersey, so it was difficult to see if the arm was wrapped or braced. It appeared he kept the limb tucked in close while jogging during warmups.
New England actually had full attendance from the 53-man roster, which means 52 players were present because there's still a spot open. The practice squad was also there in its entirety.
Good thing, as the Patriots face a tough test Sunday night in a visit from San Francisco.
