After participating in practice Thursday and Friday, Rob Gronkowski and the Patriots are going to keep the Texans guessing in the buildup to Sunday night’s game.

The Patriots listed Gronkowski as questionable on Friday’s injury report. Gronkowksi took no questions but offered a brief statement Friday, saying it’s good to be back and that he’s doing everything he can to feel better.

For anything else, Gronkowski told reporters, they have to ask Bill Belichick.

Upstairs, Belichick probably smiled. Like, actually smiled. Maybe.

Gronkowski practiced Thursday for the first time since suffering a knee bruise Nov. 29. He wore a brace on his right knee.

Julian Edelman returned to practice Friday on a limited basis, but the team ruled him out for Sunday.
