Gronkowski surgery successful, could make training camp
Finally, some good news for New England Patriots fans on the Rob Gronkowski front!
Just as soon as we were starting to worry. It's so far so good. While this hasn't been the best offseason for Gronk, this is finally some good news. Barring any more complications, the forearm should be good. And while he's rehabbing his arm, the Patriots, as Rapoport mentioned, we can get his back issues sorted. His back was the reason the Pats were able to get Gronk in the 2nd round of the 2010 draft.
The Patriots definitely have to be careful with Gronk. They definitely shouldn't rush him back for training camp. It would be great to see him play some time in preseason games, the odd series, just to test him in game scenarios, then hopefully he will be ready for Week 1 against the Buffalo Bills.

Good news for #Gronk: He's out of surgery with new plates. As hoped, the infection is gone. No fifth surgery on the forearm, per source

Double good news for Gronk: Training camp on time a possibility. And they can focus on his back now, hoping rehab is concurrent with forearm
