A number of New England Patriots fans understandably hit the panic button upon learning their All-Pro tight end was absent for practice two days before the team's postseason opener.

Gronkowski "should be good" to play against the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday, NFL Media's Ian Rapoport reported Thursday.

Gronkowski, who tweaked his knee injury in Week 17 against the Miami Dolphins, participated in practice Monday and Wednesday and was absent Tuesday and Thursday this week.
