Two weeks after hinting about possible retirement, Rob Gronkowski has given no indication on what his future holds.

"Weeks before [the AFC Championship game,] Gronkowski was telling people around him the toll on his body was making him lean toward the potential that this was his last season," ESPN reported over the weekend. "This is a very serious thing for Gronkowski at this point. He will certainly continue to contemplate retirement."

ESPN's Jeff Darlington said that the situation isn't "an emotional approach to the loss of the Super Bowl" or "an emotional response to the concussion."

Gronkowski suffered a game-ending concussion four weeks ago against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
