It looks like Gronkowski suffered a high ankle sprain after getting tackled by non- other then Safety Bernard Pollard who infamously was the tackler on Tom Brady and Wes Welker's knee injuries. Gronkowski was able to come back in the game but was held with out a catch for the remainder of the game and was seen after the game in a walking boot. This injury was very similar to that of QB Ben Roethlisberger's ankle injury towards the end of the season. Roethlisberger was able to manage the pain and was able to play through it even though you could tell he was not as mobile. Because the Super Bowl is in 2 weeks not 1, Gronkowski has the benefits of more rest and more treatments for it. He stated he was ready to go after the game and if I were a betting man I would guarantee he will be out there Super Bowl Sunday.
