according to a league source, Rob Gronkowski is expected to try to practice this week. Gronkowski underwent surgery on his broken arm Nov 19

I would still guess that he won't be on the field until the playoffs, however.

Welker must be Wolverine...both are little guys.

Gronk can be Colossus.

I would rather he come back vs MIA in wk 17 or not until playoffs. He NEEDS to be 100% for us when it all matters. We have a top 2 seed all but in the bag. Be patient. Be healthy. Be ready to win a SB, not just a preview.

This isn't like a soft tissue injury where testing it when it's not fully healed can aggravate it. If Gronk gets the OK from the med staff, I see no reason why he shouldn't play.

Only thing I care about is that the bone is sufficiently knit so that he doesn't have an increased chance of re-breaking it. Once it gets past a certain point, it's actually stronger at the break site than it was before the injury, so I have no concerns there.

I would hope that the Patriots staff wouldn't give him the okay until they are 100% certain and then some that it was completely healed.

Gronk being back would be huge. Obviously not at 100% but still a threat out there and it would mean another week of getting back into football shape.

There's no grey area with a broken bone. It's either healed or it isn't.

If the Pats lose any of their remaining games, it's pretty unlikely they get a bye.

So I have no idea why you'd say it's "in the bag"??? Losing to SF is a pretty good possibility

No, either it has knit or it hasn't. Once it has knit, there's quite a bit of gray area in terms of how strong it is structurally, which is why leg fractures take longer to recover from. Bone develops a denser micro-crystalline structure after fracture, that continues to form long after the bone has completed the initial knitting and healing process. The last phase of healing that replaces temporary bone growth with permanent, compact bone takes years.

Hey, I worked on this stuff for a while, and I lived with a doctor as my significant other for over a decade. Some of it tends to stick.

HOU faces Indy twice still and I dont see them sweeping both and BAL scares a lot less people this winter than they did last. It was certainly an opinion but it had logical reasoning. Some of us are a bit more glass half full I guess bro. Even with losing to SF which is a huge possibility I agree, we have JAX and MIA. BAL still plays DEN this week and NYG the next then Cincy.Thats 3 playoff caliber or wild card teams IIRC..(I am rooting for BAL because of seeding possibliities but I see Den, NYG winning and a tough game against Cincy)
