What I learned from listening to that audio link to D&C:
There is a circle of 4 who know about injuries, the player, the HC, the trainer and the doctor.
Somehow John Dennis breached the circle... or it's a lot biggger circle than he claims...
Sometimes doctors who aren't familiar with professional athletes and the cumulative crap/junk they haul around in joints and crevices playing regularly get a glimpse at test results and run screaming from the sight. Then a guy like say (in baseball) Dr. Andrews re-assesses the films and says NBD that's normal professional wear and tear...
Brady's precautionary MRI was supposedly taken at Providence Hospital. The team doctors are at Mass General.
If this MRI took place on Aug 15th and this is a cracked bone in Brady's foot, the news seems good from what I've read in other players situations it looks like a 2 week injury:

Personally I don't believe this story but just so we cover all angles.
Maybe I'm missing something here, but how the #@^&@#% do you walk, let alone practice, on a broken foot?
depends on which bone is broken. my wife walked around with a broken bone in her foot and didn't even know it until she was at the doctor for something else.
Didn't Kevin McHale play in the playoffs with a broken foot ages ago ?
I think if I recall right, upon reflection he said he wouldn't do it again.
I would rather see TB heal up if this rumor is true.
If makes sense to of keep him out of pre-season to keep the foot rested as possible. It's not like it's his 2nd year in the league. Now, if he wasn't at practice as much as he has, I'd be worried. Keep in mind as long as nothing happens to re-aggrevate the foot, the bye week is coming up in week 4.
i apologize i didnt look closely enough
How about Matt Light and Russ Hochenstoeoiieensnnegien carry Brady onto the field and then with one arm over Matt and one over Russ he then takes the snaps and plays the game?
Just sayin'.
I hate the preseason/time between the first game.
I'm hoping that BB still goes with the "Probable: right shoulder" routine just to fly in the face of all the foot headlines out there.
