GRONK is practicing.

Assuming he's capable of playing this weekend, should the Pats play him at least part time?

Or is giving him more rest before the playoffs more important?

Rest.

Gronk is too physical of a receiver to not come back 100%.

I'd rather see him get some playing time.

If he is already practicing you'd assume he is close to that? I'm also not sure if he's been 100% all year.

Avoiding rust. He's rested for a few weeks now. If he can come back, he should play to, at the very least, get back into game shape.

I'm talking about gronk being healed of all his injuries. Getting Gronk's body fresh should be the number one priority.

The patriots don't need gronk for these two games. Gronk plays too physical to play with injuries and this is the perfect chance to get him 100%

When a bone breaks and it heals, the bone is typically stronger than it was before. Rest isn't important here. Getting back into football shape before the big dance is.

Gronk is a young guy and he's had a month now or around that. So you add the next 3 weeks and want a playoff game to be his 1st after that kind of a layoff?

Didn't gronk have injuries before breaking his arm? Gronk's could use the extra rest.

Gronk is also a physical beast that puts his body on the line after ever catch. They need bring him back in the last game to get him reps.
