Sounds like the typical BB mind games....

If he's not ready, why have him practice?

I see Gronk in against the phins for a quarter or so...

Could be that. If he is ready, I'd rather not be cautious with him. Gronk needs some game reps to get back into "football shape". If Belichick is telling the truth (hard to tell, obviously, since Belichick prefers not to play his hand the media... and rightfully so), then it makes me nervous when it comes to Gronk's status for a Wild Card game.

Oh, and... uh... in before the sky falls and the "the second string PAT team should have been in" crowd invades the thread.

Because practicing is not the same as playing. Gronk, Dennard and Spikes all practiced (to what extent we don't know) last week and none played. It has been the case all year that practice participation does not mean ready to play. The good thing is that virtually all of the injured players are on track to dress for the playoffs. The exception may be Talib because he tried to play but could not. Not too many hip injuries where you cannot run one week and can run fine 2 weeks later. Recovery from a grade 2-3 hip flexor would be at least a month and we have no CB depth. If he cannot go then they either move McCourty to CB with Gregory/Chung/Wilson at safety, weakening two positions, or start Dennard and Arrington on the outside with Cole in the slot. Not feeling great about either secondary.

Deus Irae

Deters was telling us that Gronk and his young bones would be ready for Jacksonville, and maybe even for SF, so BB clearly doesn't know any ortho guys. If he did, he'd understand about Gronk's super youth powered bones.

Gronk's not ready on Wednesday, but that's okay. The game is on Sunday.

Since when does BB give out injury status on Wednesday on day-to-day decisions? Not ready for practice, the game?

Miami mind games...

Heh....

Whether or not Gronk plays Sunday is not a big issue. The guy is in tremendous football "shape"....

What worries me greatly is Talibs status. We are a completely different, and (better) defense with him and Dennard playing press mam to man corner......

I don't see our chances as too good in the playoffs without those two doing their "thang" at corner.......
