Rob Gronkowski is believed to have suffered a punctured lung in the New England Patriots' Week 10 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

Gronkowski could miss just one game with the injury.

Gronkowski took a hit to chest in the second quarter from Earl Thomas that sent him to the sidelines for five plays.

"Yeah, that was a big hit for sure; probably one of the hardest I've got hit in my career for sure," said Gronkowski. "(It was) by a good player; a good fast player who's like a missile."
