Yeah, that’s the “right-in-the-fire” scenario that will be a little scary, especially with two divisional games in five days to start the season. I do think Hernandez should be fine, but Gronk I’m not so sure about.
I’d probably say it’s more likely that Edelman (yes, still in a walking boot) and/or Donald Jones are relied upon if that scenario occurs, across from Amendola. I think Dobson will be out there early and often, but it’s a lot to ask of a rookie to hop right into two tough divisional games and be counted upon. Jones’ experience from Buffalo would certainly help against the Bills too.
