I'm interested to see if Ngakoue can take advantage of a possible lack of grip strength in Brady's throwing hand.

Is he practicing today?

40 year olds don't heal as fast as 25 year olds. Father Time is undefeated. Me thinks this is worse than they are letting on.

If he plays like he's capable I want him tested for deer antler spray

Brady will start even if hes dead. They will Weekend at Bernie's him onto the field.

This is just a smokescreen to get our guys unfocused. It's a trap! Don't stop preparing for him!

Either way, he will be protecting that hand. A couple of swats on it and he might be toast

Live shots from Pats Friday Practice

Rapoport who's almost always rock solid said it's nothing serious. Should he need it a Toradol injection will do the trick.

For pain, yes. But if there is swelling, and it gets aggravated in - game, it would be very uncomfortable.

Yannick, bring the fly swatter!

I would think he would protect in a little more but they say it's a powerful anti inflammatory with pain killer properties as well. They say you don't feel a thing but when it wears off you experience everything that you should have earlier.

How do you think throwing with a hand you can barely feel will go?

The team is in shells only, but Brady doesn't even have shells on.

More speculation from the media at practice that his thumb is badly strained and he can't use it to put pressure on the ball.

It doesn't numb the hand and isn't injected into the injury site.

In reality, it makes zero difference in how you prepare. You prepare for Brady and Hoyer sure as hell won't be anything to fear. And I would guarantee that's how the Jaguars are looking at it.

If there’s one thing this defense does really well, it’s stripping the ball. If Brady has any trouble with gripping the football, the Jags Defense is going to put extra effort into getting at that hand. Hopefully for him, he protects that Achilles bone.

The media was booted after warmups but Brady was moving his gloved hand normally today unlike yesterday.

In his league mandated presser, Brady would not answer questions about his hand or what happened in Tuesdays practice.

"Tom Brady speaks to media for about 4 minutes, gives short answers, won't talk about hand injury. His answer to all of the questions regarding him playing in Sunday's game: "We'll see."

I think he has some stitches.   So this sets up the Curt Schilling scene where Brady plays while dripping blood.  It will just add to the legend.  Kind of like Tiger winning the US Open on a broken leg.

I sure hope he plays.  If we lose to Bryan Friggin Hoyer, we'll never hear the end of it.

Wore both gloves and a stupid hat to indoor presser. Trying not to laugh his but off the whole time.
