The guy could be permanently disabled or he could be almost ready to play. We won't know until the season starts and they will never say anything definitive either way. So reading that into it is Jets fan optimism.
Wow..I don't really care one way or another whether Gronk is there or not on opening day because I don't think he will last all year anyway. My only thought was that he says that one day and the very next day they work out Keller.
