Rob Gronkowski has confirmed that he has undergone a third surgery on his broken left forearm to clear out an infection.

"I'm doing a lot better, definitely," the New England Patriots tight end said. "Feeling a lot better. My arm is feeling way better than it was during the playoffs and regular season when I broke it. 

"Right now, just rehabbing, getting the muscle stronger around it. You want to get everything activated, re-activated, because it shuts down for a little bit when it's healing. Just rehabbing, and when my trainers give me the 'good to go,' hopefully in the next couple weeks, hopefully as soon as possible ... I can get rolling again and get back in the weight room and get back on the field and do what I love doing -- running around and catching some balls."
