FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Rob Gronkowski returned to practice on Friday after missing Thursday’s session with a back/ankle injury.
The tight end’s presence in the final practice of the week is a good sign for his availability when the Patriots take on the Green Bay Packers Sunday night.
The Patriots, however, will likely be without starting right guard Shaq Mason, who left Monday night’s game due to a calf injury and has missed every practice this week.

BROWNS: Fired this week after winning just three of 40 games in two plus-seasons, Hue Jackson disputed owner Jimmy Haslam’s assertion there was “internal discord” on the coaching staff that made his dismissal – along with offensive coordinator Todd Haley’s – necessary.

“I don’t really think it was truly just about internal discord,” said Jackson, who went 1-15, 0-15 and 2-5-1 with Cleveland. “I think that’s a strong word. I think you have disagreements with coaches – with Todd, with (defensive coordinator) Gregg Williams, with Amos Jones, who is also the special teams coordinator. I don’t think that’s internal discord.”
