Rob Gronkowski injury

[Marinlik]

If Gronk is out, who's going to be drawing the PI calls?

Sources tell me that we are going to try and go back to that pick route combination with Lafell and Amendola that we did last year to pick up the slack of OPIs if Gronk misses time

Ya a defense BB knows very well because it's practically the one he ran for many years.

sure kay whatever you say.

The Texans are not a scrub team

I agree and am a little surprised the way some people are overlooking them. A healthy Pats team blows them out, but combined with injuries and the way the Texans are playing right now with the game in Houston, I'd be lying if I said I didn't have concerns.

Our prayers may have been answered, how many of us said we'd take the loss if we don't lose Gronk.

Is this really confirmed?... I'm too scared to be convinced, I guess.

Well, no one is going to get private access to the MRI results but you have to feel good that not a single report after he went down has been less than optimistic.

I would rest Gronk and tell him to come back in the playoffs lol.

 

[pwes]

I'm okay with this loss now

No damn it, I'm going to keep freaking out!!!

*I mean, good point.

Well lets just hope this good fortune in the case of Gronk rubs off on our entire Offense...no more injuries.

Rob Gronkowski is week to week and the injury is being described as more of a bruise of the knee than a tear per sources #Patriots

LOL, so it's a little bit of a tear? Strange wording.

 

[Patjew]

I hope this doesn't turn into one those "it's only a 'bruise' why isn't he playing??" things.

LOL he tore the skin on his knee is what I got out of that tweet.

No, I don't think that means "more bruise than tear", almost certain it means there's no tear, it's more like a bruise.

 

[Concussion Protocol]

I concur, that's what she was trying to say without saying it

Unless this statement occurs 6 weeks from now, I suggest leading a mob complete with pitchforks and fire to whomever says this first.

I genuinely felt as though his entire career may have been in jeopardy, considering that we see plenty of players come back and never look the same, along with his lengthy injury history.

 

[supafly]

That's how I interpreted it as well.

 

[PatriotsPimp136]

They said no structural damage. Can we beat the eagles without him? Maybe. We need him for the texans game

 

[Angelpats]

If they keep going low on him he should wear braces on both knees and I hope its boobie trapped so whoever dives at the knees gets hurt in the process.
