The Facts: It was reported this week that that Gronkowski is moving along just fine in his recovery from a torn ACL and MCL. That's all well and good, but a source close to him told me that the star player will "take his time and then take more time."

Diehards Line: So wrote Bleacher Report's Mike Freeman, who went on to remind readers that Gronkowski has battled numerous injuries, and last year, when he took his sweet time coming back from injury he was assailed by teammates in a series of anonymous quotes questioning his heart. Now, Freeman is told Gronk might even take more time, and be more patient, than ever before. "I'm not exactly sure when we'll see Gronkowski," Freeman wrote. "I do know he'll be back when he's good and ready, and I'm not sure how anyone can fault that. But I'm sure someone will. ..." Some of those might be fantasy football owners, who already suffered through last year's lengthy recovery. They should be prepared to do the same again this year as Gronkowski is a strong candidate to open training camp on the physically unable to perform list.
