Rob Gronkowski may have been cleared by his small army of doctors, but he’s yet to be cleared by Dr. Day-to-Day.
The official injury report for Sunday’s game at the Jets shows that Gronkowski is questionable to play. Technically, it’s means that Gronkowski is 50-50 to play.
Coach Bill Belichick isn’t playing the 50-50 game with three other players; receiver
Danny Amendola (concussion, groin), defensive lineman
Tommy Kelly (knee), and running back
Leon Washington (ankle) have each been scratched for the Week Seven showdown.
Cornerback
Aqib Talib (hip) is listed as doubtful, even though he practiced on Friday. (We reported on Thursday that he’s unlikely to play.)
Also questionable are running back
Brandon Bolden (knee), tackle
Marcus Cannon (shoulder), guard
Dan Connolly (concussion), receiver
Julian Edelman (thigh), tight end
Michael Hoomanawanui (knee), receiver
Matt Slater (wrist), and safety
Tavon Wilson (hamstring).
Cornerback
Kyle Arrington (groin), safety
Devin McCourty (shoulder), defensive end
Rob Ninkovich (groin), and tackle
Nate Solder (back) are each listed as probable.
The next developments will likely comes on Saturday, when we find out whether the questionable players and Talib make the trip to New York with the rest of the team. Those who don’t necessarily are out.
