Rob Gronkowski has decided not to have another surgery on his arm -- for now -- according to The Boston Herald:

According to one source familiar with the proceedings, the decision for now is to have the Patriots tight end delay the surgery for several more weeks to be sure the infection has completely cleared out, and continue with the course of antibiotics.

Gronkowski broke his left forearm first during Week 11 of the season, and then again during the AFC divisional round as he tried to catch a pass from Tom Brady. An infection was discovered during surgery after the second break.
