New England Patriots fans across the globe are currently freaking out about the status of Tom Brady, who reportedly injured his throwing hand this week during practice. The injury is apparently significant enough for bookmakers to adjust their odds and lines, as the AFC Championship game was temporarily removed from some sports books to be readjusted.
According to initial reports, Brady jammed his throwing hand at practice on Wednesday, January 17, after accidentally being run into, however, X-rays showed no structural damage.
Brady was at practice on Wednesday wearing gloves but he did not actually practice.
While Brady’s status remains vague, backup quarterback Brian Hoyer has begun fielding questions from the media if he is prepared to face the Jaguars defense.
Let me be the first to say, as a Jets and Giants fan (yes, it’s possible, because any reasonable New Yorker should never actively root against one of their own), that I am loving every second of this soap opera.
