Gonrkowski suffered the injury in the closing stages of the New England Patriots' 59-24 rout of the Indianapolis Colts Sunday night. The Patriots were initially mum on a timetable for his return, but it has been confirmed that the tight end has undergone surgery and could be absent through the end of the Patriots' regular season.
