Rob Gronkowski set to have back surgery

NFL Network's Albert Breer reports Rob Gronkowski will undergo back surgery, tentatively scheduled for mid-June.
The Patriots have been planning for Gronk to get the surgery, so it comes as no surprise. Early reports have the All-Pro tight end missing at least part of training camp, but it could easily be more. Although the surgery has been termed "minor," back procedures are never easy to gauge and Gronkowski's Week 1 status should be considered up in the air. It should be noted this will be the second procedure on his back, after undergoing surgery during college in 2009.

Unfortunately, this is probably the begining of the end the Gronk.... Hopefully he proves wrong and is back crackin skulls this year.
