Tom Brady to play against the Buffalo Bills – NFL News
There are reports circulating in the media that New England Patriots’ quarterback Tom Brady will be playing against the Buffalo Bills. Earlier on there were speculations that Brady suffering from a shoulder injury may not be available for the game this weekend.
However multiple media outlets have now reported quoting various sources that the quarterback will be available. Brady is suffering with a shoulder injury and was listed as being limited in practice on Thursday along with 16 other players. Brady took part
in less than 100 percent of his usual practice thereby at least assuaging fears of fans that Brady may be kept out of the next game. Patriots’ spokesman Stacey James confirmed that there was no injury on Thursday.
“If there was an injury then it would be on the injury report." James said.
And all that was there on the report was that Brady was limited in practice. Brady had missed the practice session on Wednesday but the reason for his absence given by the team was said to be other issues not related to injury.
Speculations over Brady had begun following the game against the Miami Dolphins. Brady had his shoulder hit when he was tackled by Dolphins’ Kevin Burnett in the fourth quarter of the game. Brady fell hard on his left shoulder and that could have caused
the problem. That was one of the 65 hits that he has taken so far this season.
In the dressing room, Brady dressed slowly and cautiously, thus adding to the hype that he may have hurt his shoulder. However, Brady is well known to move along with major problems. So the strong possibility is that he would play with the injury.
One of the media outlets Comcast SportsNet has reported that Brady underwent an X-ray and the reports pointed out to his being normal.
With the Patriots faced with the necessity to win Sunday’s game to make it atop the AFC East, the Patriots will sure look to his being part of the team.
Brady in his press conference on Wednesday and later in an interview on ESPN showed no signs of an injury and said that he was looking forward to the game against the Bills. There are reasons why Brady would definitely want to play against the Bills. In
the third game of Patriots this season, the Bills had handed over a humiliating loss to the Patriots and all that seemed to have had happened owing to the poor play by Brady. Brady had thrown four interceptions in that game.
The Patriots have had seven straight wins while the Bills at the bottom of the AFC East have recently come out of seven straight losses. So there is no way the Patriots would compromise on losing to the lowest ranked team of their division and with need
to settle old scores they will surely go in for the kill.
