Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski had surgery on his broken left arm, a person with knowledge of the operation told the Associated Press.
Gronkowski suffered the season-ending injury Sunday when he caught a pass from Tom Brady in the first quarter and landed out of bounds on the arm in New England’s 41-28 Divisional playoff win over the Texans.
Coach Bill Belichick had nothing to say about Gronkowski during a conference call. Belichick did say running back Danny Woodhead, who didn’t return after hurting his thumb on the first offensive play, could have played if necessary.
TITANS: Police in Jersey City say they’ve been trying to contact Titans wide receiver and former Rutgers star Kenny Britt to question him about an incident Sunday in which he allegedly drove a friend to the hospital after the man had been stabbed at a party.

The rest would come from tax dollars, and that would likely need approval from both state and local lawmakers. However, Ross said any public dollars would come from a slightly higher county hotel tax as well as a larger state sales-tax rebate.
