FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots?have ruled out tight end Rob Gronkowski?for Sundays game at the San Francisco 49ers.?The Pats listed Gronkowski as out with a chest injury on the injury report released Friday afternoon. He was not present for practice earlier Friday, marking the third straight day he was absent because of the injury sustained Sunday night in a loss to the Seattle Seahawks.The team traveled to the Bay Area later Friday.Gronkowskis absence leaves?Martellus Bennett and Matt Lengel as the two available tight ends on the roster. Bennett, who has 38 catches for 504 yards and four touchdowns this season, rises into the top role.Gronkowski has been at the team facility each of the past three days but has left in the later hours of the morning while teammates were preparing for practice.ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter has been told that the injury is not overly serious and that Gronkowski does not have a punctured lung, as has been reported.Pats wide receiver Chris Hogan also was ruled out, due to a back injury.One of the teams starting receivers alongside Julian Edelman, Hogan was a game-time decision against the Seahawks last Sunday. It was clear he was playing through pain, as he didnt have a catch and struggled to execute some blocks down the field, which is normally a strength for him.Hogans absence should mean more repetitions for veteran Danny Amendola and rookie Malcolm Mitchell at wide receiver alongside Edelman.

Most of it has to do with the years -- decades, really -- of losing. They have had two of the best players in NFL history, and both retired close to their prime with only one sniff of a chance at a Super Bowl between them. They are a franchise that has shown loyalty to their front-office employees, sometimes to a fault. While some of that is changing, with new leadership in owner Martha Ford, team president Rod Wood and GM Bob Quinn, it is way too soon to tell the long-term effects of their presence with the franchise.Whats goodNFL tickets are usually pretty pricey, but if you can deal with the losing and the fact that youre watching a team that is unlikely to reach the playoffs on a yearly basis, Detroits average ticket price of $79.16 is not a bad deal, explaining a 43rd-place ranking in bang for the buck. The amenities inside the stadium, from Slows BBQ to gear that can only be purchased inside Ford Field, are good. Theres a zip line outside, a somewhat horrific looking Big Blue Donut to eat inside, and Detroit has cheerleaders now for the first time in decades. Its worth taking a game in at the stadium -- so long as youre not banking on a Lions win.dddddddddddd.Whats badA title track ranking of 119th -- better only than the Browns in the NFL -- isnt exactly a surprise. The Lions are really no closer to winning a title this season than they were last season, or most any season since Barry Sanders retired. Its a franchise that hangs banners to celebrate playoff appearances and has won one playoff game in the Super Bowl era ... 25 years ago. The Lions have hired people with winning pedigrees, including Quinn, but the combination of the roster and the coaching is not there yet. With Quinn, the goal is to actually compete for a championship. Making the playoffs consistently and winning a playoff game first would be a start.Whats newAfter the Lions hired Quinn, they decided to keep Jim Caldwell for the 2016 season. The coordinators, Jim Bob Cooter and Teryl Austin, are the same. Not much changed with the coaching staff other than a new running backs coach, David Walker. So this 41-spot drop in coaching -- all the way to 103rd -- really comes down to how much you believe in Caldwell and whether he is more the coach that went 11-5 in his first season or 7-9 in his second one. Hes clearly on the warm-to-hot seat this season, and if Detroit doesnt do well, it could be searching for a new coach in 2017.Next: San Diego Chargers?| Full rankings ' ' '
