Certainly, this isn’t welcome news for the Patriots. No injury to Brady is good, but one to his throwing hand is especially noteworthy.
Expect New England to be extra cautious with Brady as we look towards the AFC Championship Game. It’s unlikely that he’ll miss a practice, but thinking that he’ll continue to be limited is likely a safe bet.
