New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft is currently recovering from back surgery, which will prevent him from attending Rob Gronkowski's Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

Due to medical advice, Kraft will also miss the upcoming home game against the Green Bay Packers and the team's trip to Munich for a game against the Detroit Lions. He shared a lighthearted moment with Gronkowski, who has experienced multiple back surgeries during his career, reflecting on their shared experiences. Kraft reminisced about Gronkowski's impact on the franchise, highlighting his contributions and popularity since being drafted in 2010.
