Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski Rob Gronkowski Told He’ll Miss 4-To-6 Weeks

Rob Gronkowski had another one of his monster games in the blowout win over the Colts, but on the final extra point, the record-setting tight end broke his forearm. According to sources, Gronk has been told he’ll miss 4-to-6 weeks.

The Pats have been getting by without Aaron Hernandez, who has missed the last three weeks with the ankle sprain that never fully healed. It’s possible he might come back for the Jets game on Thursday.

Or the Pats will have to make due with Vinsanthe Shiancoe, who saw a lot more action in today’s game, Daniel Fells, who was a healthy scratch, and Michael Hoomanawanui.

I just hope he's back at full strength for the playoffs. Without him this team has no shot.

Exactly [MENTION=3600]Steve12[/MENTION]. We saw how out of synch the offense was with a gimpy Gronk in the Super Bowl, and Hernandez was out there full-strength. Now Hernando is a gimp, and we're rolling 3 TEs out there that don't scare defenses the way Gronknandez did. BUT... this is why the Pats brought in 83 TEs. And we all thought Belichick was insane!

Isn't Hernandez expected back this week? Belichick doesn't look like such an butt hoarding all the TEs...
