There is a rumour all over Boston and the New England area that the Patriots may sit Brady today (and he could miss a few weeks).
The reason: Two small fractures in a tiny bone in his right ankle.
The injury supposedly occurred during the second preseason game. In last weeks game against Indy, Brady aggravated the small fracture to the point where Belichek may hold Brady out and ask Dillon to shoulder the offensive load.
I have no evidence to verify the validity of this rumour... but the rumour is rampant amongst scouts and support staff within the New England organization.
They are suggesting that Belichek had the team travel 2 days early to Phoenix because of the need to prepare for the loss of Brady in his gameplan (the report of weather acclimation was B.S.).
It is also highly rumoured that this has been a concern in New England and that is the reason for the strong emphasis on identifying a quality backup for Brady during the last 2 games of preseason.
Has anyone heard anything ?
There may actually be something to this story, simply based on it's momentum and popularity... has anyone seen the Patriots at practice since being in Phoenix ? Has Brady taken the usual 90%+ snaps with the first team... or is R. Davey splitting time with Brady at practice ? Typically the Patriots have a fairly open door policy regarding their practices.
Love to hear anything that may clarify this !!
