Good point. This should at least hint that he is obviously healthy enough to play and they don't expect the hand to result in him sitting. So it is all a matter off degree. How much does his hand impact him and how much will it matter. Not even Brady knows the answer to that for sure. I do know that whether Brady struggles or not, Jax will need to score some points on offense. And NE is good at PPG allowed. Some of that is product of redzone defense, but it is also a big part of their special teams and offense.

Interesting.
Are you in healthcare? Did you play football and see anything like this? It is in that space between the thumb and finger... isn't that a very bad location for this?
Do you think it can essentially heal up good enough in these 5 days that it will not reopen with the passing motion?
I agree that he might be OK, but also truly fear it could bleed and be a huge problem... I dunno.
TO boot, he has not practiced and they would spend all week working on plays specific to attacking the Jax offense... that matters either way.
This thread is hilarious! Speculate all you want. None of us are going to know his status until the game is kicked off. If you're looking for an advantageous wager opportunity then I would wait until halftime after you have seen 2 quarters of actual proof of how Brady reacts to the "injury"
