michaelredd9 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Report: Gronkowski suffered punctured lung http://www.rotoworld.com/headlines/nfl/347978/report-gronkowski-suffered-punctured-lung?ls=roto:NE:topheadlines NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Rob Gronkowski suffered a punctured lung in Sunday night's Week 10 loss to the Seahawks. According to RapSheet, Gronkowski "could miss just one game," which would suggest he's at least out for Week 11 against the 49ers. It's not a bad game to miss, as the Patriots should handle the hapless San Francisco team, but fantasy owners will have to find a replacement with the playoffs right around the corner. We assume Gronkowski was hurt on the Earl Thomas hit. Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter Nov 14 - 6:40 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelredd9 Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 The Patriots next 3 games are @SF, @NYJ, and LA Rams. The Patriots don't need to rush him back against such weak opponents. But I'm sure they'll play shenanigans and say he is possibly coming back even if he isn't since teams game plan so differently for him.

Yeah, they'll probably be patient with him to keep him strong for the playoffs. I think this is finally the moment Edelman owners can rejoice. He should be getting additional targets and those first two matchups are extra juicy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might not be that serious. He did play the rest of the game after it happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelredd9 Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 can't find it. I speculated earlier in the thread that it could be 3 weeks based on the next three opponents that the Patriots are facing are all weak. But I was only speculating. I only play a doctor on tv.

gilthorp Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 These threads are a bunch of BS. He's injured, how bad...real bad, oh not so bad, oh it's not what they said it was. He's out of the game, what happened, oh crap there goes my season, oh he's back in again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sports landscape is full of people over reacting to things then believing the opposite of what they first heard regardless of who the sources are. It is pretty damn hilarious at times.

Parmejohn Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Anybody else have a feeling he's gonna play? I'm gonna grab a backup TE just in case. But like 70 percent sure he plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the game mattered, I'm sure he'd be out there playing. But it's San Francisco. They are like an NCAA team. Even if he insists on playing, they probably won't let him.

Shorttynaz Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 (edited) He's got 2 lungs for a reason. Pick up your purse and get out there and hit someone, Nancy Edited November 16, 2016 by Shorttynaz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 It might not be that serious. He did play the rest of the game after it happened. Medical expert on radio today said injuries like this can take hours - if not days - to be fully realized. He may have been able to tough it out Sunday night, but come Monday morning or later in the day it could have been worse. It now sounds like he has a "perforated lung", which I guess sounds better than "punctured". That said, he wasn't even allowed to fly today. Zero chance he plays this weekend. Not against the fledgling Niners, especially with Bennett ready to slide in as their #1 TE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
