Gronk received injection in knee today
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-...al-on-thursday
After missing practice Tuesday and getting in a limited practice on Wednesday, New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski spent part of the day on Thursday at a local Boston hospital getting treatment on his right knee. According to a report from ESPN.com, he received an injection in that knee in an effort to get him healthy enough to suit up on Saturday against the Kansas City Chiefs. Per ESPN's report, 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." That sounds like it's just about par for the course for the man in the hood. (As of 4:30 p.m. ET on Thursday, they've not yet released an updated report. When they do, it'll be here.) Gronk first injured the knee back in Week 12 during a game against the Denver Broncos. He missed the following week's game against the Eagles before returning in Week 14 against the Texans and playing the final four games of the year. He had only 15 catches (with a 53.5 catch percentage) in those four games, though, an average of 3.75 per game. Prior to the injury, he'd averaged 5.2 catches a week and caught 62 percent of the passes thrown his way. Some of that could obviously be due to the fact that the Patriots were hemorrhaging other weapons and offensive linemen down the stretch of the season. They should be significantly healthier for the game against Kansas City, with both Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola expected to play and the offensive line rounding into better shape as well. Gronk is Tom Brady's No. 1 weapon in the passing game and should pose significant problems for the Chiefs' defense if he's able to go full speed. His matchup against Eric Berry, Ron Parker, and the K.C. linebackers should be one of the most interesting battles on the field when the Pats have the ball. The Chiefs finished the year second in Football Outsiders' DVOA (Defense-adjusted Value Over Average, which adjusts performance for down, distance, and opponent) on passes to tight ends, allowing only 42.4 yards per game to players at the position. Still pretty vague on injection. cortizone? was it "drained" not necessarily "injection"? That't not nearly a big deal. Anyway, just passing along. |

Gronk is the reason the pats do not have to draft highly touted Wrs or fa wrs. I just can't see Brady having an effective game without effective threats.

They injected a fetus into his knee. They're cloning his replacement and they want it to get playoff experience.

Should come down to KC turnovers and whether our pass rush can rattle Brady early on. If our rush is bringing their B+/A game? I do not see NE scoring more than 13 points, unless KC is turning the ball over on the short field.

**** Gronk. I don't believe shit that comes out of their mouths. **** Belichick and Tommesha and their fake praise of KC. Go up their and hit those punk ass bitches in the mouth, repeatedly, and then look at Pitt/Den and tell them they are gettin it next. Now is not the time to be friends. We can be cool after the game.
