They’ll list Gronk as limited in practice, with no intention of playing him, to give the 49ers something extra to prepare for. Get him a few snaps in the last reg season game so he’s healthy and good to go for the playoffs.

That will hopefully be back next season.

There really isn’t any nuance and the risk of re-injury is very minor, unlike say a high ankle sprain that Hernandez had. I don’t think the Patriots rushed back Hernandez like some people have said, he looked good against Seattle and high ankle sprains are very tricky setbacks are quite common.

The Patriots medical staff knows what they’re doing and they are the only ones that truly know Gronk’s situation but if the bone is healed they should let him play. I always thought Gronk would be back for the Jacksonville or second Miami game.

As Bill Belichick says football players play football if he’s ready let him play.

Go Pats!!

They’re playing well without him so let him heal properly.

He’s one of the best in the league at his position. Local media has said since before the MNF game that he was raring to go even against Hou. I am glad they are taking it easy with him. I don’t want him back until the last/second to last game so he can get some reps in before the playoffs roll around. AHern rushed back (granted different type of injury)and it cost him a few more games off.

I’d rather lose to SF than risk losing Gronk for any portion of the playoffs.

Guy’s a beast!
