What Gronkowski's injury means for the Patriots - Extra Points - Boston.com

•Heard from a few sources that on the previous extra point, Gronkowski got into it with a couple of Colts. Didn’t look like it carried over to the final extra point.

•The true timeframe is unknown until Gronkowski is examined Monday, but he’s being told it’s somewhere in the realm of 4-6 weeks. That would almost definitely put him out for games against the Jets, Dolphins, Texans, and 49ers. After that, they’ll have to see. Some guys heal more quickly than others. And Gronkowski, being 23, has youth on his side. One thought is that if he can come back on the short end with a brace, he might not be able to block as effectively, but could be useful as more of a receiver.

It could make my trade for Hernandez two weeks ago in fantasy look like the move of the year. Assuming he can actually get back on the field one of these days.

Rams Notebook: Wells returns to active roster : Stltoday

Besides Haggan’s elbow, the only other major injury concern coming out of the Jets’ game was a heel/foot injury suffered by wide receiver Danny Amendola with 3 minutes left in the first half. Amendola returned at the start of the second half and finished out the game, but was hobbling in the locker room afterwards.

“We’ll probably have to keep an eye on Danny this week,” Fisher said. “He’s a little sore.”

the 49ers have been on the good side of healthy two years running.

Albert Breer:

Texans D takes a hit -- Brooks Reed expected to miss 3-4 weeks with a groin injury. No surgery, but tough loss as home-field race heats up.

 

[NinerSickness]

Jared Gaither was placed on I.R. this morning.

That guy can never stay healthy. Makes me appreciate John Ogden more; really huge / tall linemen have trouble staying healthy (see Marcus McNeil).

Lance Briggs was wearing a boot on foot because of an ankle injury he suffered today but the injury is not believed to be serious, per a PFT source.

Tom Coughlin said in his press conference just now that Andre Brown suffered a broken fibula, so that hurts their depth.
