New England Patriots

He's done for the season, unfortunately it could turn out career ending . Seen players with back/neck injuries never play again. The " black Unicorn is next up but he's no Gronk !

Dunno where you got that info as no one who knows anything hasn't released a statement.

Just saying I have seen this before, example RB Wilson who was a #1 pick by my Giants had a neck/back injury and after he was fixed he was hit again and doctors told him to retire or risk being injured for the rest of your life.

Very true.

Careers in this league can be very short.
Remember Robert Edwards.

Jason Witten is an anomaly.

Very true.

Knowing all to well how back issues can affect life, much as I love Gronk as a Patriot, he should consider hanging them up. Just saying.

Sadly, I agree Dick . . . he's too young to chance such a debilitating lifelong issue

Ya but when you use HGH, you have a better chance of coming back versus just surgery.

[brownman]

Yeah, but he said his wife was the one that needed all that medicated goo.

Can Mingo or Ebner catch the ball

.. snowing nicely up in Granville

Isn't Ebner possibly out as well?

Thought he was undergoing concussion protocol.

Gronk is out for season, Super Bowl hopes are gone for the Pats

We shall see.

But he was placed on IR, which they had to do or lose a roster spot.

On a brighter note DT Alan Branch got his 4 game suspension overturned.

[brownman]

Several Weapons remain.
Elvis' prospects still good.

do you actually watch football?

[freeski]

Nothing more beautiful in sports than Brady hitting Gronk in stride downfield with room to run. He looks like Godzilla swiping away airplanes. He will be missed. Hoping for a full recovery and a productive Gronk next year.

I've often thought they ran him across the middle too often.
