The Boston Herald reported Sunday that Gronkowski could be in danger of missing the season opener because there will be a 10-week recovery period after a new plate is installed. The report stated doctors won't be able to put the new plate in Gronkowski's arm if the infection hasn't cleared. But the person informed of Gronkowski's status told USA TODAY's Mike Garafolo there are no scheduled surgeries at this point, not even to install a new plate. ... Whatever the case, it's safe to say we'll be hearing more on this one in coming days. Stay tuned.
