Patriots' Rob Gronkowski: Listed as limited practice participant

Gronkowski (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant at Tuesday's practice.

Analysis:

According to Phil Perry of CSN New England, Gronkowski showed up to walkthrough practice in full pads, but then took them off after a chat with head coach Bill Belichick. While seemingly making progress, the hulking tight end still hasn't been listed as a full practice participant all season, leaving him as no better than a game-time decision for Thursday against Houston.
