The Facts:
Gronkowski made a volunteer appearance as part of the NFL's "Play 60" initiative, and provided an update on his injured forearm. "No cast. It's been a lot of weeks now; now I'm just in the rehab part of it," Gronkowski told Brian Lowe of Patriots.com. "Getting it better. Getting it stronger. Getting it totally healthy now. Just taking it day by day, basically, with the rehab. Week by week. Once I'm 100 percent healthy, I'm definitely going to grind, hit it, hit the upper body, get stronger, and get ready for the season."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As NFL.com's Dan Hanzus notes, Gronkowski has the luxury of an entire offseason to ensure the arm has completely healed this time around. At this point, it would appear the timetable for recovery is four to six weeks. ... Meanwhile, asked about the attention he receives wherever he goes, Gronkowski told Lowe, "I've just been living my life how I have been, with my family, with my friends, since I was a young kid. I appreciate everyone's support of me, just worrying about my arm, just making sure I'm 100 percent healthy -- which I totally agree because I definitely want to be 100 percent healthy. I love playing the game of football. I love the game of football. To this day, I always wonder, without sports where would I be? I just have to appreciate that and just watch out, totally be careful out there and get my forearm 100 percent and get my body healthy so when next season rolls around I'm ready to go. ..." As long as Gronkowski's primary focus in the right area, Fantasy owners shouldn't sweat his diversions.
