Will Gronk play?

[nightfighter]

No question he will play! 22 years old, 6'6", two full weeks to heal, and then there is the medical wonder of drugs...He's ready to go. I expect he will be utilized as usual from the start, and that he will be effective. I do have reservations about him in the second half due to the longer than normal halftime, during which the ankle will cool and tighten, as well as the heat in the stadium, as he has not been able to work out for two weeks. So expect them to go to him early and often. Second half, who knows?

Will Gronk play? Madonna knows.

Must suck to be Tiquan Underwood today.
The fact that he was cut and speculation that Ocho will be playing adds to thinking Gronkowski either not playing or will be limited.
News reports say Gronk was at practice but funny no one has leaked film of him running
It would be pretty funny if Ocho makes a David Tyree type catch during a game winning drive.

Being Coughlin is from the Parcells coaching tree same as Belichick,
Probably nothing.
Maybe if Gronkowski does play it puts a bullseye on his ankle if they get a shot at it

This is a sick comment. Remember...you reap what you sow.

How the hell is that sick ?
It's human nature.
You think a Striper goes after a healthy pogie when he sees a wounded one ?

Well I was wrong.... He was nowhere ready.

When 1st reports came out on his injury they said sprained ankle and tendon damage.
Funny how that talk was hushed up and they later called it a high ankle sprain.
I know 1st hand tendons don't heal in a few weeks, no matter how old or young.
My doctors said it could be a reoccurring problem for more than a year.

Ron, the title of the thread was "Will Gronk Play" and he did. By my interpretation of this thread and my response you are wrong my friend! I said he would play and not be 100% and make a couple of big plays. Maybe they weren't big plays but he did make a couple of plays.
