The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ...In the most tangible sign yet that Gronkowski will play on Sunday, the team announced today that he did participate in practice.

Diehards Line:On today’s injury report, the Patriots listed Gronkowski as a limited participant. Yesterday he was the only player on the team who didn’t practice at all. As PFT pointed out, the status of Gronkowski, who suffered an ankle injury in the AFC Championship Game, has been the subject of a great deal of media scrutiny over the last week and a half. But all indications are that he will be able to play on Sunday. We tend to agree with PFT's Michael David Smith: If Gronkowski is on the field at all today, it’s just about impossible to imagine that he wouldn’t be on the field for the Super Bowl.
