FOXBORO -- Maybe Rob Gronkowski almost spilled the beans during his press conference on Wednesday.

Did anything stand out to the tight end about his new teammate playing wide receiver, wearing No. 10? His size? Speed?



"Oh, that is one thing – didn’t really . . ." Gronkowski started.

"During practice you know, we’re out there just trying to do our own thing, but from what I’ve seen before, definitely his size with his speed is great. You don’t really see that often."

Josh Gordon was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice with a hamstring injury, and apparently -- as Gronkowski almost said -- he didn't do much in terms of team drills.

I've been told that Gordon's hamstring injury is "OK," and the indications I've been given are that he could potentially play this weekend if asked.

Still, as Gordon gets underway in practice this week, he's not a full go reps-wise.

Patrick Chung and Trey Flowers -- both dealing with concussions -- missed the practice. Marcus Cannon (calf), Eric Rowe (groin), Nate Ebner (hip) and Keion Crossen (hamstring) were all limited.

Deatrich Wise (finger) left Sunday's game injured but was a full participant.
