Rob Gronkowski won’t be having surgery to check on the status of his infection, and ultimately install a new plate in his left forearm just yet. According to one source familiar with the proceedings, the decision for now is to have the Patriots tight end delay the surgery for several more weeks to be sure the infection has completely cleared out, and continue with the course of antibiotics.

Not really sure this is good news. If they have to go back in regardless of the infection just to change the plate and the recovery time for that is 10 weeks, delaying it only puts more of the season in jeopardy, right? Ugh, I can’t believe what a pain in the ass this injury has turned into. Usually with a broken bone it heals up and you’re good to go, unlike major ligament injuries that can take a full two years to heal completely from. At this point I don’t know what to expect.
