Suffered injury in 2nd half Thursday. Faces likely surgery for stabilization.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Mike Petraglia (@Trags) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Trags\/status\/779385135774982145?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 23, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>That definitely explains some of the throws that were well off the mark by the rookie, who had actually been relatively\u00a0accurate during what little we saw of him during the preseason. \u00a0After the apparent injury, Brissett wasn&#8217;t quite up to the level of what we&#8217;ve normally\u00a0had become\u00a0accustomed to seeing.<\/p>\n<p>The only good news in this scenario is that Jimmy Garoppolo now has some extra time with the long layoff\u00a0to continue getting treatment for the sprained AC joint he suffered to his throwing shoulder during the win over Miami, which will hopefully have him ready for their battle against the Bills one week from Sunday. \u00a0The only question from there will be if New England opts to have Julian Edelman, once again, be the back-up, or if they&#8217;ll bring in a veteran to play behind Garoppolo.<\/p>\n<p>Ian Rapoport reports that it&#8217;s not serious, and that for now Brissett will continue to be monitored before a decision is made.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Patriots?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Patriots<\/a> QB Jacoby Brissett\u2019s thumb injury is not deemed to be a serious one, source said.
