FOXBOROUGH — There was no indication from Rob Gronkowski or Bill Belichick as to when the Patriots’ standout tight end will return to the field, but Gronkowski did chat with reporters Wednesday for the first time since breaking his left forearm Nov. 18 against the Colts.

“Yes, definitely making progress,” Gronkowski said. “Every single week I’m feeling better, doing better every day. I’m working with the trainers, whatever they have me doing, just every day trying to improve on the day before.”
