Brady hints at traveling with team; Gronkowski also reportedly on trip

All signs continue to point toward Tom Brady suiting up for Sunday's game against the New York Jets.

The New England Patriots quarterback was officially listed as questionable with a knee injury that forced him to miss a pair of practices earlier this week.

Team officials have predictably declined to share any details on the severity of the ailment, but, after returning as a limited participant for Friday's team session, there's no reason to believe Brady is at risk of sitting out.

A Facebook post hinting at a road trip along with the rest of his teammates would appear to support that notion.

Rob Gronkowski entered the weekend falling on the far less optimistic side of the questionable designation as he continues to recover from a chest injury suffered in Week 10. According to a report from Jeff Howe of The Boston Herald, however, the star tight end is also making the trip to East Rutherford.

Receiving clearance to fly is another step in the right direction after a full week of limited practice participation, and New England would presumably only bring him along if he truly had a chance to play. He can be considered a true game-time decision as a result.

Gronkowski returning to the lineup after missing just one game would be an incredibly positive development as New England looks to continue its dominance down the stretch.
