Rob Gronkowski says he wasn't consulted, but doesn't care that Romeo Doubs is wearing his former No. 87 with Patriots

Rob Gronkowski indicated he was never asked about Romeo Doubs taking over his former No. 87 jersey with the New England Patriots, though the retired star expressed that the choice does not bother him.

J. Brown sidelined.

Following a dropped pass during a game against the Seattle Seahawks, Patriots coach Mike Vrabel voiced continued faith in Doubs moving forward. Meanwhile, Gronkowski has kept active in football discussions, praising the New York Giants' physical approach during their victory over the Dallas Cowboys and forecasting success for Chicago Bears tight end Colston Loveland.
