Patriots fear Gronk has broken forearm Ian Rapoport @RapSheet Likely bad news for the #Patriots: Team fears Rob Gronkowski has broken his forearm, I'm told. Tests to confirm ongoing. http://www.rotoworld.com/content/pl...news.asp?sport=NFL&id=5729&line=248365&spln=1 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/11/18/rob-gronkowski-getting-x-rays-on-forearm/ I put this is in the NFL forum but we do play them Thursday
Rotoworld: "Late in the fourth quarter, Gronkowski headed to the locker room and didn't return. He's set for X-rays to determine if there's a fracture. Before going down, Gronk piled up a 7/137/2 line in his usual dominating fashion. All owners can do for now is hold their collective breath.

Thursday Night Just Got a Little Easier!! We need to capitalize on this if this turns out true!!! http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2012/11/18/patriots-rob-gronkowski-x-rays-arm/1713193/ UPDATE FROM ROTOWORLD!!!!
Hernandez has been out with an ankle issue. Regardless, the Jets have always had an issue with Welker. At this point the combo of Welker, Woodhead, and the rest of their receiving core presents a problem with our LB's.
So they might be without both their starting TE's, which leaves us to slow down Welker and not let Eddleman have another break out game like today. I think we can do this. If we do, it'll be huge
Rachel Nichols @Rachel__Nichols Reportedly hurt on final extra point of Pats' 59-24 win RT @RapSheet Gronk informed initial timetable is 4-6 weeks for his broken forearm
Covering TEs against the Patriots has been our weakness. It's still Brady and he's still got WRs to throw to, but we can do it.
