Gronkowski reportedly appeared close to being cleared for last week's game against the Saints. When the Pro Bowler was not cleared by Dr. James Andrews, ESPN reported that his absence was creating tension and resentment among some of his Patriots teammates.

Quarterback Tom Brady later said he didn't see any resentment in the Patriots' locker room.
