I think we all pretty much knew this yesterday. The fact remains that he was putting pretty good weight on hit in the tunnel on the way off the field and looked a lot better than Roethlisberger did when he walked back. Gronk will play and he will probably play very well with the issues being 1) pain tolerance which I don't expect to be an issue (between a shot and the way Gronk is) and 2) the increased likelihood of re-injury which is more of an issue, he'll be taped up tons but will likely have a better chance to turn the ankle during the game. Like Double TE said, not all high ankle sprains are the same and while it will have swelled up on him later, Gronk looked reasonably OK walking back to the locker room and then playing later presumably with a pain killer.
All that said, I don't expect him to practice until about next Wednesday and I expect him to be wearing a boot when he boards and leaves the plane on Sunday. Nothing wrong with precautions.
Eh. Reads like calculated misinformation to me.
I hope Bernard Pollard suffers a painful career ending injury.
