Just heard on the Sports hub that Gronk is expected to have surgery at seasons end....

Edit: looking for more info, if anyone has any plz share...they said it will be to "just clean it up"

Rapsheet tweeted that out.. im unfollowing him because he is getting annoying.. he wrote that is the "expectation" .. what the hell does that mean?

The Boston Globe reports that Rob Gronkowski will likely need his injured left ankle scoped following the Super Bowl.
Beat reporter Shalise Manza Young confirms that Gronk will play in Super Bowl XLVI, but his ankle will need to be "cleaned up" due to apparent ligament damage. While the operation doesn't sound major, it's clear Gronkowski will be at less than full strength against the Giants. An early-game aggravation would certainly have the potential to impact the Super Bowl's outcome

It means he's expected to have surgery


expected - past participle, past tense of ex·pect (Verb);

Regard (something) as likely to happen.
Regard (someone) as likely to do or be something.

I'm just being a smart arse ignore me

That leaves the implication that this is big news and it's a major injury, but in reality how many players have some type of work done after the season is over; I'm guessing 25%? Maybe more?

They will tape it up and put a brace on it and shoot him with painkillers and that anti-inflammatory that has been in the news lately...and his play will not be noticeably affected. Because it is the last game of the season. Then they'll go in and fix anything that needs to be fixed and he will have the whole offseason to recover.

BTW if you look up high ankle sprains on wikipedia it says the recovery time can be as little as 2-3 days. The fact that Gronk came back into the same game and played most of the rest of the day would seem to indicate that this was a mild injury as far as high ankle sprains go. I think we dodged an artillery shell.

Big Ben had a high ankle sprain and it lasted the rest of his season. Gronk doesn't have to plant and throw, but must plant and spin.

Not all "high ankle sprains" are created equal, nor are the injuries in any other specific category.
