atlbillsfan1975 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 punctured lung, and one game? something there doesn't line up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 (edited) @profootballdoc Additional consideration on #Gronk is @Patriots travel to @49ers next. Flying often not allowed early on from punctured lung. #NEvsSF Â Implies rib fracture but not 100% #Gronk @Patriots Edited November 15, 2016 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 punctured lung, and one game? something there doesn't line up. The NFL is a pretty awful league with regards to injuries. I encourage anyone to google the jason Taylor article about playing hurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 punctured lung, and one game? something there doesn't line up.  "Punctured lung" can vary widely in severity. And given that he wasn't coughing up blood or gasping for breath from a collapsed lung, it's almost certainly not severe. It's conceivable - just barely - that he could be ready to go in 2 weeks for a very "mild" puncture. The NFL is a pretty awful league with regards to injuries. I encourage anyone to google the jason Taylor article about playing hurt  I just found that article. Taylor played with a central catheter from his armpit to his heart??? How the hell is the man not dead??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringBackFergy Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 If our safeties weighed more than 185 lbs maybe we could have bit him a lil' harder (gonna create a bully my ass). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Quint Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Â Did not say it was a BIG puncture plus they have his brother on practice squad to donate any spare parts he needs. Billy has already approached little Gronk about 'the ultimate sacrifice'. He has an authentic Nazi surgeon that the Kraft family has been harboring since the 40s to do the dirty work.

KD in CA Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I must have missed the big hit, but wasn't Gronk on the field till the final play? How'd he keep playing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Doubt fractured rib as etiology. Lung is likely fully expanded already. Popped a bleb, probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
