According to Reiss Dennard absense not injury related. And here is the full practice report:

Player Pos. Injury Wednesday
Alfonzo Dennard CB Not Injury Related DNP
Rob Gronkowski TE Forearm DNP
Marquice Cole CB Finger Limited
Chandler Jones DE Ankle Limited
Nick McDonald OL Shoulder Limited
Trevor Scott DE Knee Limited
Danny Woodhead RB Thumb Limited

If Gronk is done for the year(the last report I remember seeing about the injury) after he broke his forearm again, is there a reason why he hasn't been put on IR?.. Are they hoping he might be Ok to play in the SB should we win this Sunday?

PS. Since you're a fellow Patriots fan I'm gonna forgive the low blow about me being a Jazz fan... But just this once.

They already have a half dozen guys already on the roster who are inactive every game. Presumably one of these guys will now be active to fill Gronk's spot (Fells). There is little to gain by putting him on IR: the chance to be the last of 6 guys in line to be active.

But if there is No chance of him playing this season then there is Nothing to gain from keeping him on the roster. Why not try to bring someone in who can fill his roster spot and contribute? Maybe not another TE but what about someone who can take over kick return duty or punt returns since that seems to be the team's weakest point. Replace Welker so he doesn't take more hits than he has to or McCourty since he never makes it past the 20.

By no means am I claiming to be an expert here and maybe BB thinks there is no one out there worth bringing in. Just me being curious about why he isn't on IR yet and hoping its because BB thinks he might be able to play in the SB if we win this weekend.

Tough break for you. How come the Utah Jazz didn't change the name to something that made sense? Like the Utah Mitts?

As had been speculated, Dennard's DNP had to do with his pre-draft legal incident.

Alfonzo Dennard missed practice for court appearance - Extra Points - Boston.com

Patriots' rookie cornerback Alfonzo Dennard was absent from practice on Wednesday, and the reason given by the team on the day's injury report was "not injury related."

Dennard was in Lancaster County, Nebraska for a court appearance because of his April 21 arrest outside of a Lincoln, Neb. bar, just days before the NFL Draft was set to begin.

On Wednesday, Dennard's trial date was set for Feb. 11, according to Lancaster County District Court records. Attorneys believe it will take up to four days.
