This guy plays in the SB as if nothing's wrong and then it'll be addressed. He's 22, as close to bionic as there is, there's two weeks of rest and good modern medicine "freeze shots." The yahoos in NJ are pissing their diapers praying that Gronk's out. Not happening. The NY media are setting an all-time record for ball-washing a home team. The Pats are given no chance of winning this game by them and most other "experts." Just the way I like it. Sit back and enjoy it.

As long as it isn't before the season ends, there's absolutely nothing to worry about.

I probably didn't type that right, I'm not a doctor, but I would guess Gronk has had some high tech assistance; if the Patriots don't have this machine - although I bet they do - then Mass General certainly will.

Listen up, he will get injected with painkilling medication before the superbowl, and he will play. Will he be 100%? Probably not, and even if he doesn't play, the motto is, NEXT MAN UP. Have some faith fellas, much of Gronks success is due to our stud quartberback anyway, im not saying gronk isnt a physical specimen, but Brady will spread the ball around nicely. Our offense is the least of my worries for this game....

This.

I mean, whenever Gronk has been kept relatively quiet, Hernandez seems to have a massive game and vice versa.

I'm not worried even if Gronk doesn't play...we still ahve the weapons.

Crystal ball says....

In order to achieve added stability to the ankle, the Pats doctors will sew his skin to the Inferior tibiofibular joint.

Unfortunately, some blood may appear on his sock.

Because of the added support, Gronk has a monster game: 10 catches, 183 yds, 3TDs & and a Super Bowl MVP trophy.

Does the sock go to Canton, OH or Patriots Place?

He absolutely plays. Bank on it. And not at a very reduced rated, if any, either.

Note this article is 3 years old - the platelet injections are becoming fairly routine therapy from what I am hearing. Duke Medicine is advertising their leadership in this area on ESPN radio in this area.
