Gronkowski participated in Tuesday's mandatory minicamp practice, Paul Perillo of the Patriots' official site reports.
Per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, Gronkowski's main motivation for skipping the team's voluntary OTAs was that he believed that training on his own during that span was optimal. The star tight end has two years remaining on his deal with the Patriots, but it's possible that his below-market deal could be tweaked in his favor. In any case, Gronkowski is presumably in good health at this point in the offseason, so if he can avoid any significant injury issues in advance of the coming campaign, he'll be poised to retain elite fantasy status at his position.
