No surprise here. Gronk is having the disk fixed. He could be back in time for the end of camp or possibly start the season on the PUP list. I really hope this is the end of his injuries at least for this season.

 

Very happy the Pats have Ballard. He should help fill the gap in Gronk's absence. Big guy that can catch and block.

I believe he had back injuries dating back to college.

As much as I love to watch the Patriots lose, it will be a loss for all football fans (not to mention Gronk) if his career gets derailed by injury problems.
