Basically, it was along the lines of someone saying something along the lines of
"This could be anything from the most minor of injuries to something serious, with major ligament damage and the like"
followed by Curran saying something like "I've been told that it's a hell of a lot closer to the latter".
If anyone can find that, it's definitely something that should be in this thread.
Brady will play. But going up against elite defenses any slip in his ability to throw is going to be a big problem.
It's very hard to take a medical opinion seriously if the doctor offering it hasn't examined the patient or reviewed the records.
I think the Pats are still going to win handily. Not exactly sure why I feel that way but I do. Maybe we somehow get angry Brady or chip on his shoulder Brady (as long as he can throw though)Yeah, I wouldn't read anything either way into Belichick's press conference. It's not like he would be offering up good news if he had it. I'm not necessarily optimistic here, it's definitely a hell of a curveball, but Belichick is just doing what Belichick does.
Although I guess I am a bit optimistic, because the line moving 2 points on this news prompted me to load up on the Pats.

I'm not sure if this has been posted yet. This doctor is a great follow on Twitter if you didn't know already. His speculation is that Brady will most likely be ok.
if Hoyer plays and they win I will be ecstatic.God forbid Hoyer play and they win. “See, he is just a system QB”.
Dion Lewis asked if he was the player who injured Brady's hand: "Not me! No, it wasn't me." He added: "It's Tom so regardless of any situation he's put in, he's going to make sure he's out there game day. Nobody's really worried."
If its a dislocated thumb i don't think the situation is that bad, ive had a few of them (albeit when i was a kid) and it was popped back into place and was a little sore fo a couple of days.

As a kid I went to the ER after a nasty collision playing hockey. Shin hurt like crazy, and the doctor (in person) said it doesn't seem like a break to me. Probably just a bruise. Then came back with the x-rays and was like, "Well, your ankle is cracked and there's a spiral fracture stretching halfway up your tibia." So sometimes even when they're there, can see and play around with the injury, and can ask the patient direct questions, it's still a crap shoot until you get actual tests done.
Don't think this has anything to do with Brady, but who knows.
