General thoughts on Brady: Think this foot injury is worthy of being monitored as to how it affects him. Not something to just dismiss.

Don't want to read 2 much into how he walks through locker room, but if someone asked my opinion, looks to me like he has some discomfort.
 
Apparently it's his plant foot. Oh dear ... :(
 
Just great,ughhhhh:(There will be people saying he is breaking down.
 
Another tweet from the locker room per Jeff Howe of NESN:

Brady has great poker walk. W/ media surrounding, leaves locker room walking fine. Mins later, w/ media around Welker, Brady limps back in.

Brady is the anti-Favre. But we already knew that I guess.
 
Another tweet from the locker room per Jeff Howe of NESN:

Great. Can't we just have a year where Brady remains healthy the whole way through? Mankins is back not a moment too soon, I guess. I just hope that this isn't one of several injuries that will eventually catch up with him ala 2009.
 
I wonder when did this leg injury occur.

Unless Brady and the offense change their style of play, he's always going to be taking hits.

This isn't like the Colts offense where Manning has the ball out of his hands before a defender can even wave at him. I hate to admit it, but Manning may go his entire career without missing a game to injury, and may have a longer career than Brady due to how little the guy gets hit. (I mean, when Manning is faced with the possibility of taking a big hit, the guy even dives to the ground in fetal position, for God's sake)

Contrast that to Brady, who after getting driven to the ground with a 300 pound Randy Starks driving his helmet through Brady's 3 broken ribs, as he throws a 60 yard TD pass to Moss, just runs into the locker room, readjusts his equipment, probably gets shot up with something again, comes out and plays some more.

I think it has to do with a few things. The first is an offensive line that, like any, has a tendency to miss blocks from time to time. Compound that with how complicated our offense is and how long it's taking our receivers to get open, for the most part, and the fact that Brady is relatively immobile, and you get a quarterback that's taking quite a few hits.

I agree, I think the complexity of our offense has the most to do with it.

Immobile, maybe, but he does have as good a pocket presence as any QB ever. Often that means he avoids one hit just to take another, but he's gotten the ball out of his hands in the process, at least.
 
My bet is this injury happened during the Chargers game, and has since been re-aggravated. The times when he was sacked during that game he was brought down, it was by his ankles, so it makes sense.
 
Darn i hope this doesnt affect him this weekend. We need everybody as healthy as possible. This stinks. i'm sure he'll play good still but i dont want any chances.
 
It's fake. BB and TFB are setting the Steelers up.
I believe Admiral Akbar says it best...

Yep.

I remember the last time BB and Brady pulled this trick. They had him pretending to have an injured ankle before Super Bowl Fort....wait, forget it.
 
Tom Brady Limping Noticeably Due to Apparent Right Foot Injury - New England Patriots - NESN.com

He walked briskly, without a limp or a care in the world, and disappeared out of sight.

A few minutes later, though, the story changed, as wide receiver Wes Welker held court at his own locker, which is across the way from Brady's and forced the media crowd to turn their backs on Brady's locker.

Yet, as Welker was speaking, Brady walked back in toward his locker, and he limped noticeably. He spent extra time putting weight on his left leg while trying to quickly shift weight away from his right leg, which is a significant indication Brady has injured his right foot. That’s important because it's the foot he uses to plant off of while driving forward to make a throw.

It was a calculated move by Brady, who clearly tried to stride with fluidity while he knew the media attention was geared in his direction. That’s the opposite of a guy like Brett Favre, who recently walked into the Vikings locker room during a media session and shouted for the trainer to retrieve him a more comfortable shoe.

And we question why Belichick prefers to limit media access or essentially says nothing when asked about injuries?

Howe has done a great job - check out his scouting report for the Steelers' game, for example - but after revealing this information I'm going to guess he won't be getting any inside scoops from BB or anyone else associated with the Pats.
 
Is it possible for him to get a shot of some sorts to help ease the pain? I just got in from work to read about the news and am surprised there is only 2 pages in this thread so far.

This is a set up to suck in the Steelers blitz and off Brady scrambles for a 53 yard running touchdown.
