First things first, this is not a drill. Tom Brady’s right thumb is messed up. This isn’t a Patriots’ ruse, this isn’t a misdirection, and this isn’t what the team was looking for as it tries to get to its eighth lwoB repuS since 2001.
What’s given me the most pause since learning there was an injury is that I just haven’t heard from any sources, “Pffffttt, it’s nothing. He’s fine.” The truth is, nobody with what I would consider first-hand knowledge is saying anything. It’s quiet. Too quiet.
Which leaves a guy working the periphery. Our bright and informed readers understand the periphery isn’t as reliable.
So as of Friday afternoon, I don’t know precisely what the situation is. Best I can do is ask you to settle for “chatter.”
This isn’t a “reporting” or a “breaking”. It’s just a “what I’m hearing”. And if you’re not gonna live with that caveat, stop reading.
Brady’s right thumb bent back badly when he was smashed into by a running back. Somehow, the ball got jammed back into the webbing between his thumb and index finger and it caused a cut. Might have been the laces. There may be stitches. He’s not taking snaps under center. He can take them in shotgun. He’s trying not to aggravate the thumb between now and kickoff so the reps are at a minimum. He can throw. I have no idea how hard, how far or how accurately.
He's listed asquestionable on the injury report. He may take a shot of Toradol prior to the game since the area still hurts from the trauma (hence the X-ray on Wednesday to rule out any structural issues).
That’s what we got.

I do think there is something there with his thumb. How bad it is remains to be seen. I guess we'll find out in about 6-7 hours.

Time will tell, but if he does get a shot of Toradol he might be more prone to fumbling and not be able to get the grip he needs to get that zip on his short passes. Hopefully Jacksonville can get to him with some frequency to rattle that ***** and test his issued Belicheat butt plug.

Knock him down every chance you can and MAKE him use that hand for catching himself................. NOT cupping himself
Salute the nation
That and wearing the glove he never wears. The dude deflated balls because he had such a touch or feel of the ball in his hand. The shot and/or the glove will definitely make a difference on how the ball feels in his hand.
