Should Gronk be out against the birds?

[Jimke]

In my perfect world, Gronk can play next week, skip the Thursday game, play the following week and be good to go then with Brady back. That gets him in for the two division games and avoids the quick turnaround for the Thursday game. Really just hoping it's not worse than we realize - no reason for that, I'm just a pessimistic.

God help us if this is how Gronkowski has to be babied the rest of his career. He is a guy who recently
received a pay raise and is looking for another one. He is the best tight end of all time but there may always
be a serious risk of injury.

Hamstrings can be tricky and linger regardless of how much a guy is being paid.

Smart not to risk it.. they're deep at TE so they can manage without him. Its an NFC opponent, so the game isn't ultimately that important even if they lose.. the next 3 games after this one are very important

Exactly. After this game, next 2 of 3 are division games.

Yea all 3 are AFC opponents, 2 of which are in the division.. All of those games will have playoff implications

Actually, it was his arm that he broke and re-broke, not his hand. I think he still has a steel plate in there, if Im not mistaken.

I actually meant to say arm.. not sure why I ended up typing hand.. brainfreeze
