Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski needs a fourth surgery on left forearm

[SayNoToDMC]

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski will require a fourth surgical procedure on his left forearm, reports Karen Guregian of the Boston Herald.

Gronkowski initially underwent surgery after he broke his forearm
while blocking on a fourth-quarter extra point attempt in a 59-24 win
over the Indianapolis Colts on Nov. 18. Gronkowski broke the same forearm again during a divisional playoff win over the Houston Texans
and had surgery in mid-January. A third procedure took place in
February after Gronkowski developed an infection following the second
surgery.

According to the report, a fourth procedure has always been on the
agenda, but it has not been clear when that surgery would take place.

 

Doctors need to switch out the plate that is currently securing the
bone in Gronkowski's forearm, but that procedure has been delayed as the
Pro Bowl tight end underwent a round of antibiotic treatments to clear
the infection. Once the infection has cleared and the plate has been
swapped out, Gronkowski can begin what is estimated to be an 11-week
recovery period.

 

The Patriots have not yet released their training camp dates, but
we're currently about 12 weeks away from when NFL teams typically open
camp. The longer the fourth surgery is delayed, the less likely it is
that Gronkowski will be healthy enough to participate in training camp
and the preseason. Considering Gronkowski's importance to the Patriots'
offense, the team will probably take a cautious approach with his
recovery to make sure he's ready for the regular season-opener against
the Buffalo Bills on Sept. 8.

More grist for Boston's self-pity-industrial complex. A couple months ago, Simmons posted some whimpering tweet about how unfair it was that Gronkowski and Chandler Jones and Jared Sullinger were all injured. Those guys were injured when you drafted them, dumbass.

Shoulda just left it at 58-24. Eh, Billy?
