Despite the attention surrounding Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski‘s ankle injury, no one outside the Patriots locker room had a definitive update on the tight end’s status as game time approached Sunday afternoon.

CSNNE’s Michael Giardi tweeted: #Patriots rolled into building around 35 minutes ago. Gronk wearing same special black shoe for that injured left ankle.

WEEI.com Patriots writer Christopher Price, tweeting from Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, tweeted: Faulk, Zoltan, Cannon and Gostkowski all on the field. No sign yet of Gronkowski.

The NFL Network tweeted: Can Gronk go full speed for 4 quarters?

The nation will soon find out what the deal is.

WEEI.com writer Mike Petraglia tweeted: 60 minutes away from inactives for #SB46. What are your guesses, surprises?

Fans have remained hopeful despite the doubt surrounding Gronkowski’s ability to perform, with fellow Boston athletes hopping on the bandwagon.

Bruins right winger Tyler Seguin tweeted: Let’s go Pats!!!! I want to see what Boston’s like after we win another championship. #superbowl
