Belichick: No setbacks for Gronkowski


things falling into place

 

[PatsFan24]

Well that is good news.

 

[MoLewisrocks]

NFLN just reported that Gronk was a full participant in todays session, albeit a walkthrough.

 

[Deus Irae]

Per PFT, He’s officially listed as questionable.

The Patriots list 11 players as questionable, including Gronkowski and tackle Sebastian Vollmer (back/illness.) All the Patriots players are expected to be available for the game.

I really think his injury is overblown and not as bad as a lot of people seem to think. I think we'll see a close to or at 100% Gronk come game day.

... wearing a ""Yo Soy Fiesta" shirt according to Reiss.

If he was close to 100% he would have been practicing all week, or at least more than he did. My guess is his ankle is pretty effed up and he would have been out for a pretty good length of time had this been the regular season.

That doesn't mean I don't think he'll be effective, but I doubt he's near 100%.

 

[Angry Man]

My hunch is we're going to get an Gronk that is at about 85-90% which means he's still a big threat offensively. I feel great about this SB. Let's Go Pats!

This is game 19 for both teams; there are very few players @ 100% this time of year. Your "guesses" about Gronks health, ability to play thru pain mean as much as the predictions of the so called anal*ists

In other words, my guesses are as valid as they come.

Seriously though, if he was close to 100% he'd have been practicing much more than he did. I think that's pretty obvious. They aren't holding him out as some kind of smoke screen. The dude is hurt.

 

[McGinley]

Let's hope that all is well for Gronk, but I still have my doubts about how efficient he will be.

 

[Mack Herron]

Here is the full list of players who are "questionable":

New England Patriots

Damn, I was so happy to see anything resembling an ankle stretch that I missed the shirt!

I don't suppose there are any more photos out there?

Rob Gronkowski Wears 'Yo Soy Fiesta' Shirt to Patriots' Walkthrough - New England Patriots - NESN.com

Belichick [...] served as an offensive lineman on punts, trying to draw the punt coverage team offsides by setting his hand on the ground just before the snap. Belichick and Patriots special teams coach Scott O'Brien also worked as defensive linemen when New England's Stephen Gostkowski was kicking field goals.
