Elsa/Getty Images(FOXBOROUGH, Mass.) — Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski said he’s ready to go for their season opener against the Miami Dolphins.
Gronkowski had reconstructive surgery on his left knee during the offseason and doctors gave him the green light on Monday.
“Super excited, super pumped. I feel mentally and physically ready, for sure. No doubt about it,” Gronkowski said Monday. “My mentality now is I’m ready to go, I’m ready to be out there, I’m ready to hit, I’m ready to start going.”
Gronkowski plans on wearing a knee brace on Sunday, but doesn’t see that stopping him from being productive.
“It feels good to be out here now this week, preparing for the Dolphins, knowing that I put myself in the best situation the last few weeks and few months to get back out here,” he said. “That was my plan the whole time — to work as hard as I could so I’d be ready for this week.”
