Gronkowski’s knee is … sigh, who knows? Gronk’s health status has become the great existential quandary of the New England area; if Henry David Thoreau were alive today, he would not go journaling transcendentally on some lake, but would devote his time to studying orthopedics and parsing the meaning of Bill Belichick’s mumbles instead. The Patriots did not bother signing a free-agent tight end or pursuing a Jace Amaro-caliber rookie, even as a backup, so they are either satisfied with Gronk’s recovery or have evolved beyond the “defeat you with awesome tight ends” stage in their development into higher beings. Patriots fans can lie sleepless all summer worrying they are halfway in between.
