Tom Brady was limited at Patriots’ practice with a right hand injury, but it’ll be fine
You shouldn’t worry about ol’ Tom.
The Jaguars-Patriots AFC Championship game this upcoming Sunday got slightly more interesting, with Tom Brady landing on the injury report Wednesday.
The Patriots announced that Brady wouldn’t be meeting with the media on Wednesday afternoon:
Tom Brady is with our medical staff and will not be available to the media today.

As it turns out, Brady has a right hand injury:

It’s not the first time Brady has popped up on the injury report this season. He had been on and off the Patriots’ injury report with an Achilles’ tendon injury since the middle of the season. Brady was at practice on Wednesday, and was seen throwing the football.
Brady had also been on the injury report with a hurt shoulder in late December, but was taken off the injury report altogether on Dec. 30.
When he was asked about the specifics regarding his injuries during his Dec. 29 press conference, he would only say, via the Boston Globe, “That’s a tricky question. I’ll pass.”
Rapoport also mentioned that it doesn’t seem to be anything serious for Brady. But going against a Jaguars’ defense that has been one of the NFL’s most fearsome, the Patriots will want a healthy Brady.
For now, there doesn’t appear to be a reason to panic.
