The Facts: Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (back) could return Week 12, following the team's bye week.
Diehards Line:Gronkowski has not played since Week 8 due to the injury. The team is one a bye this week, giving him some extra time to get healthier. The Patriots are facing the Jets in Week 12, a team that is not playing well. Dwayne Allen (knee) is expected to miss a few weeks, so getting Gronk back would be helpful to this offense.
