I’ve heard #Patriots and Easley are squabbling over injury protection, which makes sense. But I don’t expect a holdout or anything like that

Housekeeping note: Injury protection isn’t a holdup in the Easley contract negotiations, nor would it be for any rookie.

Yes, during the first 10 minutes of practice, Gronk was doing short bursts, plants and cuts. Not my fault if other reporters didn’t see it

Pretty sure if Gronk tried any of that stuff on a soaked field Thursday, Belichick would have personally carried him off it.

Lastly, if Gronk looked as good as one thought, it would have been major news across New England by Thursday at 1 p.m. Not days later.

I can’t say that I saw Gronk cut, burst, or remotely sprint on Thursday. He jogged with some injured players and then went into the bubble.

I saw Gronk moving at half speed on Thursday, for whatever it’s worth. Warmed up with team, did quick half-speed drill with the limited guys
