Bill Simmons tweeted yesterday that Tom broke some ribs in Sundays game.

"Hearing that Tom Brady jogged off field after first Miami TD because he broke ribs (plural). Came back wearing a flak jacket."

Someone asked Reiss about this and he said:

"Can not confirm that on Brady at this point."

I dont know what to think about this. I dont know if I trust Bill Simmons, but Reiss didnt deny this, so I guess its a possibility.

EDIT: He is practicing today, so if his ribs were actually broken I dont think he would be practicing.

I can see them being bruised, but broken? You can't BREATHE without extreme pain with broken ribs, let alone play football right after it happens.

Either this is an exaggeration, or TB is one tough SOB.

Cracked Ribs during the Jets game.. Check my previous posts when I mentioned the injury..

He did jog off the field and he hasn't seemed to be uncomfortable walking around. If he's not at practice today, then we can worry, but I have a feeling is absence the last couple of days is a combo of being a bit beat up and the new baby.

Another thing I'd like to add is that he wasnt in the locker room very long at all on Sunday, so it would be very hard to diagonose him with broken ribs in that short period of time.

I dont think its true, but just think its worth mentioning with what Simmons had to say

That is a crock. You cannot break your ribs and be able to jog like he did, back to the field.

When you break your ribs, it hurts, even just to breath. I honestly think it was an equipment issue, when he went to the locker room.

If Simmons is making stuff up, which I'm pretty sure he is, would it really surprise anyone? I've got a feeling the Big Show guys are going to be all over this at 2:00.

Bill Simmons would probably love that. The guy is a closet Patriots hater and has been for several years now. I guess living in LA for so long can really change a guy.

I deleted your post, IIRC, because it sounded like a joke. What was your source?
