Maybe Two More Games

All of the experts in the media are calling for Rob Gronkowski to return to the Pats starting line-up. They feel his absence is the cause of the team's dismal offense. Doctors are expected to clear Gronk for the game on Sunday against the Saints.

Whether he will play is the big question. After four surgeries on his arm and one for his back, it's easy to see why Gronk is a bit leery about getting back on the field. Coach Belichick indicated that the team never put him on the PUP list because they wanted him to be able to work out with the team. Gronk has been seen at practice since the start of the season.

I think Gronk should wait another week or two. I don't feel good about him playing on Sunday. He came back early from injuries twice with disastrous results. They can't afford to lose him for the rest of the season.
