Mack Herron · May 16, 2013

Gronkowski surgery has been set up for next week. Dr. Jesse Jupiter, one of America's top fracture surgeons, will perform it at MGH.

Let's hope it goes well.

Breer saying the infection is likely cleared, that is tremendous news!!

3.5 months until the start of the season. Let's hope that's plenty of time!

Alright! He can get back to drinkin' and humpin'.

If that is based on this, you might want to read it again.

If all goes well, Gronkowski's infection clears here. Then he'd have the plate taken out. Complicated process, but they're hopeful.

Yeah, I guess reading isn't his strong point. Or understanding what he reads anyway.

Regardless, it's not explicitly stated but Breer seems to state by omission that Gronk may have the plate taken out and not have a new one put in. Or his tweet may be misleading.

this is pretty clear

Assuming the infection has been eradicated, the fourth surgery would replace the plate in Gronkowski's forearm, and the estimate for a recovery would be about 10 weeks, sources previously told ESPNBoston.com. Assuming all goes well for Gronkowski, that could put Gronkowski's projected return right around the start of training camp in late July.

I know but that's the standard line that has been repeated and, now, assumed. I am wondering if Breer wasn't clear or if he has different information. I replied to his tweet asking him, not sure if he'll reply.

Bet he gets a fifth surgery later this year.

Way to be a complete douche

Shalise Manza Young:

as @AlbertBreer has reported, league source says Rob Gronkowski's arm infection is likely cleared; he will have 4th surgery to replace plate

Can you understand that genius?

Not sure that SMY quoting Breer, seemingly incorrectly quite works as your supposed quote from Breer.

We all hope it's gone but the only source I have found that says it is PFT who say it's from a source any go no further.

The Breer attribution you give is from SMY - who I don't follow for good reason - quoting Breer but I have yet to see Breer actually say it.

SMY is crediting Breer and she has confirmed through a source herself or she wouldn't tweet or report.

DarrylS · May 17, 2013

Without regard for who says what, hopefully this surgery is successful..

Claremonster · May 17, 2013

Is this BB's creative way (getting 27.8 surgeries on his forearm) getting Gronk not to party so much in the offseason?

Why, Sunshine?

Well, what he actually says is "if all goes well" the infection is cleared. I don't see any "likely" in that.

Or she misinterpreted and was wrong. Maybe Breer said it but he tweets a lot and did NOT tweet what she wrote. But, as I said, there's a reason I don't follow her.

10 weeks to recovery.

What could possibly go wrong?

Brady_to_Moss · May 17, 2013

good to hear the infection is probably gone

Call it a hunch.
