BREAKING NEWS: Rob Gronkowski reportedly out for season

PointGuardU.com is reporting that tight end Rob Gronkowski is out for the season, and will have back surgery next week.

Ryan Finley of the Star also reported that Stoops is expected to make an announcement regarding Gronkowski's status after today's game, or at Monday's press conference.

I do not think anyone believed Arizona would be without Gronk this season after hearing of an off-season back strain. I did not even think that he would be out for the Iowa game, let alone the entire season.  Clearly, if the report is true, losing Gronk for this season will have a huge impact on the outcome of the season.

Worst case scenario from here out:  Gronk medical redshirts, declares for NFL Draft, and says see ya later to the Cats. Yes, it could happen, he will be eligible to declare after this season.  Best case: Gronk's injury does not requrie surgery, and he somehow makes it back on the field this season. 

Again, Big Rob, get healthy.

Dammit.

That’s terrible news. At least they would know that they weren’t going to have him this season and they could move on and hope he returns next season.

Seriously, who would have thought that CFB’s two best Tight Ends, Coached by the Stoops Brothers, at my mine and my brother’s alma mater’s (Zona for him, OU for me) would both not see the field this year. F’ed up

Well.

He’ll redshirt, but… I highly doubt he’d go to the draft… I don’t think much teams would be interested in a player who has had back surgery and hasnt been playing for a whole year. I think he’ll be back next year.
