It's easy, and only takes a few moments.The Patriots list 11 players as questionable, including Gronkowski and tackle Sebastian Vollmer (back/illness.) All the Patriots players are expected to be available for the game.
NFLN just reported that Gronk was a full participant in todays session, albeit a walkthrough.
... wearing a ""Yo Soy Fiesta" shirt according to Reiss.
I really think his injury is overblown and not as bad as a lot of people seem to think. I think we'll see a close to or at 100% Gronk come game day.
If he was close to 100% he would have been practicing all week, or at least more than he did. My guess is his ankle is pretty effed up and he would have been out for a pretty good length of time had this been the regular season.
That doesn't mean I don't think he'll be effective, but I doubt he's near 100%.
This is game 19 for both teams; there are very few players @ 100% this time of year. Your "guesses" about Gronks health, ability to play thru pain mean as much as the predictions of the so called anal*ists

Belichick [...] served as an offensive lineman on punts, trying to draw the punt coverage team offsides by setting his hand on the ground just before the snap. Belichick and Patriots special teams coach Scott O'Brien also worked as defensive linemen when New England's Stephen Gostkowski was kicking field goals.
