The Super Bowl ankle jinx has struck the New England Patriots again. Tight end Rob Gronkowski missed the team’s first practice for the game Thursday with a left ankle injury. Four years earlier, quarterback Tom Brady skipped practice for a week before the game with an injured right ankle. Both offensive stars were hurt in the third quarter of the AFC championship game.
