Do we think that he got hurt at some point at the end of the Miami game, or tweaked it in practice? For once, I'm actually not super concerned about this, if only because he was playing and moving around well the last time we saw him, and he will be (hopefully) able to get through the walk-throughs. I'm cautiously optimistic that this is just BB recognizing how much more effective the offense is with Gronk as healthy as possible, and letting him take it easy.Two missed practices - including the final one of the week. I think it's safe to be very concerned about Gronk's health for Saturday. Fucking shit...
Also gotta question the logic of traveling to Florida this weekend if his knee is still having issues. That one does not make sense to me.
I was under the impression that flying could hurt swelling and recovery. If I am wrong about this then I withdraw my complaint.It's simply rest. He wasn't walking to Florida.
Anyone using the mobile app cannot see anything posted from that feature. I guess it's a tapatalk issue and can't be solved by anyone here.Not sure what your issues are, but I'm not sure what to tell you. I used the Embed Media feature instead of posting the link directly in the post.
Is that Apple only? A quick search of the Android store shows nothing.Not to diss on the SoSH app, but the IPB Buddy app almost exactly mirrors the experience you get using a regular browser on a PC or laptop
No idea, I have an iPhoneIs that Apple only? A quick search of the Android store shows nothing.
He was injured earlier and came back. Now they are just trying to make sure he doesn't tweak anything before the most important stretch of the season.I was under the impression that flying could hurt swelling and recovery. If I am wrong about this then I withdraw my complaint.
Yes, my issue is with IE as well, which I have to use due to work, so in order to help out posters that maybe can't see it, can people simply also paste the text?Normally I use IE (I know, habit) and I always get blanks for what I assume are tweet posts. Pasting this same link into Chrome and Firefox, I see the tweets/vids etc. as I assume the poster intends. Using Safari on the iPhone, I see the tweets. So something is amiss with certain browsers.
More Gronk details
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowskispent part of Thursday in a Boston hospital getting treatment on his injured right knee which included an injection, according to a source familiar with the procedure.
The Patriots believe Gronkowski will play in Saturday's divisional-round playoff game against the visiting Kansas City Chiefs, but will ultimately need to see how Gronkowski feels on game day.
The Patriots practiced early this afternoon inside Gillette Stadium. Before the practice, head coach Bill Belichick was asked about his level of concern regarding Gronkowski and said, "We'll list the players after practice like we do every day."
Gronkowski practiced on Monday, was held out of the Patriots' full-pads practice on Tuesday, and was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday.
He sustained a bruise/strain of his right knee Nov. 29 against the Denver Broncos, then missed the Dec. 6 game against the Philadelphia Eagles. He returned Dec. 13 against the Houston Texans before he was removed from the team's injury report the next week.

I just generally assume that it's a cortisone shot, if it is something that's trying to get guys back sooner in the short-term.Injection can't be a good thing. What would the injection be? I assume if they were draining it they would have said drained and not injected. Paging @DaveRoberts'Shoes DaveRobertsShoes please pick up the white courtesy phone.
Im more worried about getting tentative, 70% speed Gronk then him not playing, but its not good. They still have enough to win a home game with the Chiefs, but going to get harder after that if Gronk isn't full go or very close to it.By all reports Gronk isn't an issue in terms of his playing on Saturday, but this raises my concern level for sure.
Assume it must be a Cortisone injection to help with pain perhaps?Injection can't be a good thing. What would the injection be? I assume if they were draining it they would have said drained and not injected. Paging @DaveRoberts'Shoes DaveRobertsShoes please pick up the white courtesy phone.
They wouldn't do that two days before a game, it had to be cortisoneMy pessimist in me climbed out onto the ledge and said: please dont be Synvisc.
Or the implication being that he participated in something incredibly friggin' stupid when he was in Ft Myers.Gronk wasn't even on the injury report the last week or two of the regular season. Clearly something happened at practice to aggravate it.
Or that they want to give him every possible advantage before the postseason.Or the implication being that he participated in something incredibly friggin' stupid when he was in Ft Myers.
We. Have. Not. Even. Played. The. Game.Starting to feel like this is not the year
It's starting to feel like a game thread after McDaniels calls a run on 3rd and 6 in the first quarterWe. Have. Not. Even. Played. The. Game.
Really. Sometimes I think the name of this placed should be Sons of Chicken Little.We. Have. Not. Even. Played. The. Game.
KC is not healthy either.
We were MUCH healthier last yearWe. Have. Not. Even. Played. The. Game.

Dude, the preferred nomenclature is Sons of Nancies, which by the way, is moderated by BSF.Really. Sometimes I think the name of this placed should be Sons of Chicken Little.
We were MUCH healthier last year
This feels similar to 2 years ago where we just didn't have the horses to go into Denver and give a competitive game
A lot will be determined by how JE11 and Gronk look in the 1st qtr on Saturday
If he's not practicing today, he has to be dead like apparently Gronk is.Maclin a long shot but not yet ruled out.
They'll still have more horses on both side of the ball than in 2013 and wont face a harder spot than that game at Denver until the Super Bowl. They were certainly healthier last year, but its not time to panic.We were MUCH healthier last year
