Report: Rob Gronkowski undergoes another surgery on left forearm 02.25.13 at 7:03 pm ET
By

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Field Yates, Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski required surgery last week to address an infection in the left forearm that had already required a pair of surgeries. Schefter noted, however, that Gronkowski’s latest surgery is not expected to impact his availability for the 2013 preseason or regular season.

Gronkowski’s elbow infection was caught early enough that he is likely not miss any extended time and is expected to be for camp, tweeted Schefter.

Gronkowski broke his left forearm in November while blocking on a point-after attempt against the Colts. He missed the next five weeks, returned in the regular season finale and then suffered another fracture in the Patriots’ divisional playoff win against the Texans that required another procedure and ended his year.

In 11 games, Gronkowski, 23, caught 55 passes for 790 yards and 11 touchdowns.

     I don’t care if Gronk is 23, has millions and is just being a young kid——-bring this guy back to this area and SIT ON HIM. He’s front page news, just waiting to happen.

  • Gazzzmann

    Belicihick has to put a leash on him,he need to start to EARN his millions

  • Uncle Buck

    Oh oh.   

  • Xander Bogaerts

    Perhaps he regrets getting liquored up, taking his shirt off in a bar like a moron & wrestling with his brother. This guy is starting to remind me of Palpelbon.

  • Bemyguest

    keep throwing to this guy 20 times a game and he’ll end up on the DL every year…..he’ll never play in another playoff game.

  • Titletown1

    No doubt Moronkowski got the infection rolling around urine soaked floors with his brother.

    Stupid is as stupid does.

  • Fab4ever

    …but he’d be a Mensa candidate if he was playing in NY…excuse me…I meant NJ….

  • Titletown1

    No doubt.

     You say that as if its a bad thing.

    You do realize it’s safer to have sex with a porn star than someone you meet at a bar or on a college campus right? Everyone is that field is rigorously tested for AIDS, STD’s, and recreational drugs other than weed. They are whores but they’re clean whores

  • Jramsey470

    Why do I get the feeling that this young man’s career will be brief ?

    At least the infection was limited to his arm!!!!

  • Garyritter

    Trade this clown to a dim witted organization like… say… the Raiders for 2 first round picks

  • Schwank

    So I guess that ‘s why he didn’t go the Oscar’s

  • Jeff

    Wow…what idiots! Gronk has broken every record for a TE in his 1st 3 seasons! Who cares if they take pictures of him partying…you think other players aren’t partying. Gronk’s the only one that’s big enough to care about.  BTW, what was wrong with Papelbon…he set every Sox closer record. Wonder why no one likes playing in NE.

  • Jeff

    and the comment about trading him…yeah trade him for a couple of high picks…that we can use on DB’s that will be out of football in 2-3 years. See what Baltimore did…they had a big receiver going up to get football…that is what Gronk is…and he is one of the best blockers(look at big play  runs, pats average 2.1 when he’s not in line up and 4.1 when he is). If he wasn’t blocking on extra point he would of been in post seaosn.

  • Schwank

    I hope they remove that damn plate in there as well it serves no purpose once the bone is healed.

  • t sizzle

    nobody gives a rats as- about your shoulder ..put your patriot pajamas on and go back to bed
