I am reminded of the similar Pouncey media day last year, same injury though maybe a bit worse. His chance of playing then was given as 75%, but he ended up missing the game.
Watching Gronk today on NFLN, listening to his answers and his nervousness, my personal opinion is 75% he doesn't play. Hope I am wrong, and the toughness and ability to recuperate he has shown in the past really is so exceptional that he'll be out there.

Im sure he'll start, how limited/effective he is, is another matter
If your ankle twists outward, it's a high ankle sprain. Doesn't say how severe it is, though.
To clarify, if the ankle rolls inward it's a high ankle sprain, which is definitely what Gronkowski has. If you "roll" you ankle, outward, it's a regular sprain.

Pouncey's injury is different, you could tell when he went down. He was down for a while. Here are some details.

Here is the problem. We have so many uninformed posters to scare everyone. You obviously did not do too much research, but you thought you'd act like your opinion has anything to stand on. I think Pouncey looked more than just a "bit" worse.
Also, he self-assessed his chances of playing at 75%. It was reported from league insiders and Steelers insiders that there was no chance he'd play. If you saw the injury, it also looked much worse than Gronk's. It looked like a blown out ACL when it happened.
And if you want to bring up Roethlisberger, let me tell you, there is no way that Roethlisberger could have gone without limping at any time during his injury, painkillers or not.
Gronk's situation looks good. Stop scaring us with unfounded opinions.
Looks just like Gronk getting off the plane, right?

So your saying his 'Body Language' said hes most likely not playing

Right. I think he meant to say that when the foot goes outward, it's a high ankle sprain. If you push the inside of your foot and ankle against the ground, you feel pressure above the ankle joint which is where I understand the injury happens in a high ankle sprain. If you push the outside of your foot against the ground, you feel pressure below the ankle (i.e., in the foot).
