Listening to Zo who has had the injury and his (and my own) observations of the way Gronk was moving when he came back to the field Sunday, this isn't going to be an issue. Zo even doubts it's a high ankle sprain. Said when players have that they experience dead foot, inability to get lift or push off the toe and tend to drag the foot. He saw none of that with Gronk including when he jumped on his back post game... These are also tough kids who were raised to get back up and rub some dirt on it. But the media will now focus and speculate on this ad nauseum for 8 days, and that's not all bad... When Tommy suffered an eerily similar injury in the 2002 AFCC he said he was ready to go back in for the second half and was a little disappointed they didn't let him. There was no bye week that year, and he was good to go in practice on Wednesday and beyond good to go come game time. If it's at all painful that can be managed. Remember, Ben was fine too except when he screwed up... He's even playing in a meaningless game this weekend...
We remember Ty Law, but in his case the injury was misdiagnosed and actually required surgery and he played a position that required a lot differnt skill set than this TE.
