Injury Notebook: Brady and Gronowski do not practice on Friday

1. Both Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski did not practice for the Patriots on Friday. Per NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport, Gronk wasn't there due to a personal issue that won't affect his status for Sunday's game against the Titans. Brady, meanwhile, sat out with an illness.

2. Broncos coach Gary Kubiak told the media that he held quarterback Peyton Manning out of practice Friday with a sore foot. Manning has the weekend off as well.
