Rob Gronkowski injured during Fanatics Flag Football Classic
Legendary NFL tight end Rob Gronkowski returned to the gridiron on Saturday afternoon for the Fanatics Flag Football Classic at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, California. Gronk got off to a hot start with three catches on the opening drive, including a two-point conversion. Unfortunately, his day ended after hauling in the two-point catch from his former quarterback, Tom Brady.
After falling to his feet, Gronk attempted to stand, but his foot slipped on a piece of turf to the side of the field, which resulted in a pulled hamstring.
