Filling in for injured tight end Rob Gronkowski, he's apparently playing through two brutal injuries of his own:
#Patriots love Martellus Bennett’s toughness. Example: He plays with a cracked bone & bone chips in his ankle. Surgery likely this spring

Unquestionably his most efficient year as a pro, Bennett has racked up 701 yards and seven touchdowns, including a career-best 12 yards per reception.
Bennett is expected to suit up against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Sunday evening's AFC Championship game.
