Gronk Apologizes For Pictures With Porn Star

FOXBORO (CBS)  - While Rob Gronkowski had some fun over the bye week, he had to apologize for it when he returned to work Wednesday.

The Patriots tight end said he apologized to team owner Robert Kraft after photos of him with adult film star Bibi Jones appeared on Twitter.

"I didn't send anything to hurt the reputation of anyone on the New England Patriots or on behalf of Robert Kraft," said Gronkowski.

Gronkowski and Jones posed for a pair of pictures, with Jones sporting a Gronkowski Patriots jersey.

Gronk hopes to put the photos in the past, and is looking ahead to the Pats next opponent.

"I can't wait to get out to practice and focus on the Pittsburgh Steelers. That's all I'm worried about, it's all I care about," he said.

Gronkowski has 29 receptions for 401 yards and five touchdowns for the Patriots in six games this season.
