Rob Gronkowski: I didn’t come back too soon

“The doctors cleared me,” Gronkowski said. “As a player, you want to be out there for every game. Definitely don’t believe I came back too early. It’s just a freak accident. It’s very frustrating when that happens, too. It’s just a thing I can’t really do anything about.” Gronkowski mentioned how frustrating the injury was. “It’s just frustrating, the way I landed on it and how it broke,” Gronkowski said. “It’s just a freak thing how the first one broke, how the second one broke. The only thing it does is frustrate you, but now it’s just a time where I’ve got to rehab it, take my time now, get 100 percent so it’s ready to go for next season.”
