Also, I saw him walk today without his boot, and he DID have a slight limp. 

Just keep an eye on it fellas

One thing I can guarantee-is the Giants will be going after his ankle.  They'll try to twist him like a pretzel.

Just like they went after Kyle WIlliams' head.

I sure hope your right, nothing better than trying to dive for and ankle. If he is 50% and the giants dont bother to wrap him up cause they want to twist his ankle he will have a monster game.

But if he's not doing well it makes the job a whole lot easier for the Giants.  As everyone is talking about, there is no backup, he's a huge part of their offense.  Stats wise he's their 2nd leading receiver link and they do NOT have his backup as I said

So we have GOT to keep an eye on this.....

Bill Bilichick might keep Gronkowski as gametime decision, and guys will not have enough time to place their bets accordingly at long lines in every Vegas books.

I've heard them say they're going after his ankle...

And I heard them on media day say they'll do ANYTHING...and they mean ANYTHING....to win the game

I guarantee you they try to twist his lower leg and if they ended his game they'd take it 100 times out of 100

He's not playing. I mean has anyone rolled their ankle like that?  No way he's making football moves on that ankle in less than 5-6 weeks

You have to take his injury in a different light.
1) he is an elite athlete, it makes a difference
2) he is probably like 24 or so
3) he is getting the best medical care in the world including PRP,PT and whatever else they can think of
4) he will get pain shots before the game

He may not play but I really think he does. The only question is how well.
His injury does not translate to us weekend warriors, different universe

Got a weird vibe watching his press conference. Although I still think he plays, I thought it was weird how they were not saying he was going to play.
In the Belichick weird ass world, made me think maybe he is not playing and they want the Giants to waste their time preparing for him.
I am going crazy now fer sure.

I believe he will suit up and play.

The Patriots only have 2 TEs on the roster. Hernandez and Gronk.

They won't rule him out, regardless of how many snaps Hoodie plans to play him.  If Hernandez were to go down and Gronk didn't suit, they wouldn't even have a TE.  Edelman may be able to half ass cover Boldin, but he can't play TE.

Pats have a te on the practice squad If Gronk can't go they would activate him.Also Nate Solder the rookie ot would play te in running situations.All that doesn't matter because Gronk will play.

He is not wearing the boot anymore.  I am sure it is sore but, Gronk will play.  They will numb it up and wear special equipment.  He will be used to block for sure and he is a beast in the red zone.  Expect the same. 

I do anticipate that Hernandez, Welker, Branch and Ocho will see more balls due to this injury though.

I have seen nothing to contradict this.

We all expect him at 80% or so.
Good Luck

Not weird.  He is officially questionable.  They can't just state that he's going to play.  Then the questionable tag would be false.

It is what it is.  Those that want more certainty need to consult a crystal ball or just give up.  Hoodie isn't going to tell you any more than you already know.

Hoodie lists the entire team as questionable each week.
Just shit to me but he gets away with it.

Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski took a limited role in New England's practice Thursday, according to the team's participation report.

fyi-
been looking at the stuff today and little has changed. Did read that his agent has said that Gronk would miss a regular season game.
I am going to bet against him on yards and maybe receptions, good luck with what you choose to do.
Leaving in the am for Vegas, will be at Aria

Yeah Gronk will have a monster game with a high ankle sprain, he won't even play 10 minutes......

was listening to vegas insider on talk radio today and they said he will play and is doing much better than expected , wouldnt suprise me if he limps out on the field as a decoy and then has a decent game . Belichick will always say gametime decision thats what he always does.

Gronkowski will be active, but the question remains whether and to what extent he’ll be effective. Playing just two weeks removed from an injury that typically sidelines players 2-4 weeks, he remains at risk of re-injury. Agent Drew Rosenhaus said he expects Gronkowski to be at considerably less than peak capacity, and that he wouldn't be playing this week if it wasn't the Super Bowl. Feb. 5 - 9:13 am et
