Boggles my mind really. If a simple fall on his wrist can cause shockwaves to break his forearm, why is he allowed to play, and why hasn't it healed after all these weeks?
Brb googling surgeon's name

Is it the same break as last time? |

Considering how carefully he had been treating the arm, the fact he still had some form of protection on it and simply the odds of the same player breaking the same forearm in a new place back-to-back, it would suprise me if wasn't. |

Yeah, the one that struggled to put up points against the 49ers (until they let their foot off the gas) Miami and the Jaguars.
We need Gronk in the run game and the pass game and I for one am disgusted at the job that was done by all those medical professions around Gronk. Someone has botched their job, either the surgeon, the team doctors, or the guys that cleared him to play. Pathetic.

So this means that Gronkowski's career is now screwed? at least to some degree since he is more sensitive to an arm injury? it took two drives for him to get injured despite the fact he was apparently healthy from the previous break.
Or will the plate be removed at some point before next season and he will be back to normal? |
Probably going to have to play with a protective cast on it going forward, and not be as effective blocking.

For the rest of his career he won't be the same? and be more likely to suffer an injury? this is so sad...
Damn Sergio Brown i will find you some day and run you over with a car.

This whole thing is depressing. It just goes to show that no matter how talented you are, how much effort you put into what you do, or how good your attitude is, you can get screwed over by totally random freak occurrences.

Which, given the fact he has 9 months to recover, I'd say is a pretty good idea at this point.

That's exactly what i asked before because i wasn't sure what it means:

So Gronk could be back to 100% next season and will no longer be sensitive to suffering an arm injury?

People break their arms all the time, they usually make full recoveries. I don't think the surgeons would have implanted the plate knowing he would be at such risk. I think he will be back and able to do everything fully next season, this isn't something that should affect him long term.

That's what I want to know. Since Gronk has 9 months to recover, they could do another surgery to remove the plates and be fine w. it right?

Jesus, we really ride the wave of emotions here, don't we?  How about we just wait and see what happens before deciding Gronk will never be the same again.

I would think with 9 months Gronk could naturally recover...
