More prime-time games set for next season

Every NFL team will play at least one night game next season after the league announced that NFL Network will expand its Thursday night schedule from eight to 12 games. NBC will also broadcast a game on Thanksgiving night.

Thursday night games will start in Week 2 and go through Week 15. The Sunday night and Monday night schedules will remain the same.

"We think it's great for the teams because everyone will get that prime-time exposure, and we think it's great for the network," NFL commissioner Roger Goodell told NFL.com.

In other news, New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski took part in the team's walk-through on Friday and moved without a limp, according to NFL.com. He is listed as questionable for Sunday's Super Bowl, but is expected to play.
