Gronk: "I'm ready to go. I'll be playing."

With all due respect to the practice squad additions and the new long snapper, this is the biggest story of the day. Not entirely sure if its news, but a great sign for Gronk. Let's hope he is truly 100% and good to go. They need him in January.

I love the Practice Squad and all but this is the big news.

Gronk says he's super excited about Sunday and that he will be playing.

And various other tweets.

Security slipping. How are these loose lips running around?

Of course, now Gronk will be benched for the game for breaking team injury protocol and talking about his injury on a Monday.

Gronk on breaking his own news: "Now you don't have some random source."


I'm sensing an opening day beatdown of the Dolphins. Hope I'm not disappointed.

I would be running up to Easley's locker next.

LOL! My guess it will be a game time decision for Easley even if he is definitely going to play as of today. I think this Gronk announcement was calculated by the team.

It'll be a shame if we a aren't treated to at least 5 healthy Gronk seasons. He's an incredible talent and fun to watch. He manages to be entertaining just with his love of the game rather than theatrics. If his career continues to be bogged down with injuries it'll be a loss for the Patriots and NFL.

dead chicken littles everywhere....gruesome...and awesome at the same time

EXCELLENT!!! I can't wait to see the big guy back in action. I think that he'll see limited snaps, but Brady will target him a lot when he's out there. Am I the only one having visions of Liam Neeson proclaiming, "Release the Kraken!"

Oh, and I believe the two TE set is back. I really think this kid Wright will be good in our offense.

The Dolphins are in for a beatdown.

hell yeah

GRONK!!!

sorry didn't see there was a thread on this already

He's lying, I have it from at least 3 sources here @ patsfans that we may not see him until october.

But but some Boston and National mediots said he wouldn't be able to go and that Gronk's camp and the Pats were probably not on the same page like last year.
