It's easy, and only takes a few moments.To me the tragedy here is that Gronk has worked all season and all offseason to become Super Gronk again, and he had just gotten to that level. So, I hope he will able to regain his timing quickly, but we'll see.
If this is a hairline, he might be back as soon as the stitches and wound start to heal. Dress it up, cover it nice, good to go!
Yep and I think he stayed in a play or two after he broke it.

It's good to see that my man Tedy Bruschi has used his post football time productively, obtaining a medical degree specializing in sports medicine orthopedics.
His opinion is clearly based on anecdotal evidence. Although he has a lot more relevant anecdotal experience than any of us do...
i have a buddy who is in the medical field. I asked him today at work his take. He thinks it's worse than a hairline if he needed screws to set it. Should be able to heal on it's own in 4-6 weeks if a hairline but who knows
Just one, and it wasn't by choice as he couldn't get anyone's attention on the sideline to replace him. So he stayed in and made a tackle that really hurt... He snuck back out in his air cast while the trainers were checking the xray. Carolina had just pulled ahead on a Delhomme deja vu toss to old pal Ricky Proehl with a minute and eight left and he was pretty antsy until Ty Law told him not to worry, we had it covered. Been there done that. Brady to Vinatieri with 4 ticks left.
Do hairlines require surgery?
He did. It crunched and got worse. They went to take him to the locker room and put him in an air cast. When they turned their backs, he snuck out the door and watched the rest of the game IIRC (it's been a while since I saw that America's Game).
It depends on the hairline and the age of the patient. Brady opted for surgery but he suffered from acute follicle lethargy.
I’m somewhat optimistic about Gronk and expect him back in time for the Texans.
