Gronkowski 'good to go' after missing 3 of last 4 games

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski confirmed he'll start on Sunday against the New York Jets after missing three of the team's last four games.

Gronkowski, who's been battling a back injury, declared himself "good to go" on Friday afternoon, according to The Boston Globe's Ben Volin. It was reported during the Patriots' bye week that Gronkowksi was on track to play in Week 12.

Injuries have slowed Gronkowski in 2018, and he hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 1. The 29-year-old has recorded 448 receiving yards across seven outings this season.
