The Facts:
The fractured arm suffered by Gronkowski on Sunday was not identical to the original fracture he suffered November 18, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

Since the injury, speculation has been that Gronkowski was rushed back and that his injured left arm wasn't ready for contact. The source says the current injury "had nothing to do with whether the arm was ready or not." Instead, Gronkowski's arm broke at the end of the protective plate that was implanted in his arm. Gronkowski sustained the new injury when he went hard to the ground while diving for a pass against the Houston Texans in the first quarter of the Patriots AFC Divisional Playoff game. Gronkowski's original break, it was noted, has fully healed and was intact when surgery was performed Monday to address the new injury.
