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?

Looks just like Gronk at media day, right?

Good post. We probably know what type of injury he has (high ankle sprain), but we know nothing of the severity (other than the fact that it probably isn't as severe as Pouncey's).

You have it backwards.

Great minds think alike 400x

Now that's funny sh#$ right there from both of you, and maybe the theme from Rocky blasting as he runs!

This is excellent news! Did anyone else happen to see the picture of Gronk they had on the NFL's home page a little bit ago? Man I wish I'd grabbed it.

Ok so I know a lot of people sincerely dislike Colin Cowherd, but he did just make a valid point on the herd. He was talking about how Gronk scored 12 of his 17 touchdowns against not so stellar teams. On the flip side, he went on to say Aaron Hernandez' performance seems to have a direct effect on how the Patriots play. Obviously Gronk is important, but is it possible that we need hernandez more?

You should hear those ***** clowns Wingo and Schlerith on ESPN.... Here are all this video's showing Gronk sans limp, sans boot.... looking every bit fine and those too are desperately trying to a paint a "he won't be effective"... "no matter what you see... he's really hurt".

Their arguments don't pass the eye test at all, but they don't care..... They are just willing the injury to be worse.

And you're being stupid.

You're parroting the opinion of a man (Cowherd) that thinks Gronk isn't a great TE. That's all you need to know right there.
