The Boston Globe is reporting that quarterback Tom Brady missed his first practice of the season due to a foot injury.
Foot and right shoulder are listed by Brady’s name on the injury report. But the foot injury is believed to be what kept Brady out of practice, considering he is often listed on the injury report for his right shoulder.
This is the first time Brady has missed a practice due to injury since returning from a torn anterior cruciate ligament suffered in the 2008 season. Aside from missing most of the 2008 season, Brady has never missed a game since becoming the starter in 2001.
I’m not a doctor but this injury doesn’t sound like it’s serious enough to keep Brady out of any games. That doesn’t mean it won’t limit him, however.
Chances are unless the injury becomes worse this won’t be a big story the rest of the year but it’s worth keeping an eye on as the Patriots battle for a playoff spot in the AFC.
