The Facts:
The Patriots released their official practice participation report for Wednesday and, as expected, TE Rob Gronkowski didn’t take part. OT Matt Light, who missed Tuesday’s media day with an illness, was a full participant. OT Sebastian Vollmer was limited with the rarely seen flu/back/foot combo. WR Wes Welker, LB Brandon Spikes and OG Logan Mankins highlighted a list of nine other limited Patriots, but they and Vollmer are also expected to suit up come Sunday.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As PFT's Josh Alper notes, Gronkowski has not been wearing the walking boot to protect his sprained left ankle that he was sporting last week, but the injury is still too much for him to take part in practice. There are two more practices this week and Gronkowski’s status for those sessions is unknown. The team is investigating a special cleat for him to wear on Sunday, but all indications remain that he will be on the field. ... Stay tuned. The complete and official injury report will be posted upon release by the league office.
