Karen Guregian reports that Patriots QB Tom Brady jammed his throwing hand at practice after accidentally being run into. However, X-rays later showed that Brady does not have any structural damage.
The Patriots officially listed Brady as limited for Wednesday’s practice with a hand injury.
While not surprising, a source tells Jeff Howe that Brady will play in Sunday’s AFC Championship game against the Jaguars, barring an unexpected setback.
Brady, 40, is a former sixth-round pick of the Patriots back in 2000. He signed a two-year, $41 million contract extension with the Patriots back in 2016, which included a $28 million signing bonus. Brady stands to make a base salary of just $15 million in both 2018 and 2019.
In 2017, Brady appeared in all 16 games for the Patriots and threw for 4,577 yards while completing 66.3 percent of his passes to go along with 32 touchdowns and eight interceptions. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 1 quarterback out of 39 qualifying players.
