Just as word emerged that the New England Patriots expected Rob Gronkowski to be ready for training camp after battling an infection in his surgically repaired forearm,Angelo Henriquez Chile Jersey, another injury concern has arisen.                      Debate: Pats due for a setback?                   With       Rob Gronkowski still not healthy,Custom Eagles Jersey, our analysts debate whether the       Patriots are bound to take a step backward in 2013.                                 Gronkowski is now suffering fromchronic back pain, two sources informed of his condition told NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. Gronk recently underwent an MRI to determine the severity of the injury. He will be sent to spine specialist Robert Watkins after Monday's forearm surgery,Anthony Spencer Saints Jersey, per Rapoport.    Although Gronkowski missed his final college season because of back surgery,Alec Ogletree Rams Jersey, USA Today's Mike Garafolo reports this issue is with a different disc than the one that was shaved down in 2009. The current disc issue does date back to last season,Amobi Okoye Cowboys Jersey, however.    Even if Gronkowski's back does require surgery,A.J. Jenkins Chiefs Jersey, the hope is he'll recover within the same time frame as his forearm surgery. A person close to Gronkowski told ESPN's Adam Schefter that the back issue is minor, and there is still no concern about the tight end missing the start of training camp.             It's worth noting that NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock reported before the 2010 NFL Draft that Gronkowski was surrounded by rumors of spinal stenosis,Aaron Dobson Patriots Jersey, a narrowing of the spinal column that can lead to degenerative discs or joint pain. Agent Drew Rosenhaus disputed the rumors shortly thereafter. All indications are that the current pain is unrelated to any previous condition,Andre Caldwell Broncos Jersey, but this still is a lot for Gronkowski to overcome with just more than two months before the start of training camp.    As the injuries pile up and his long-term future is checkered with red flags,Allen Barbre Eagles Jersey, Gronkowski should feel fortunate to have secured a six-year, $54 million contract extension last offseason.    Follow Chris Wesseling on Twitter @ChrisWesseling.
