There is that small chance that it is to cover up that he will be out and wanting the Jags to gameplan around Brady instead of Hoyer.  Wishful thinking.

This is just silly. You don't miss practices going into the AFCCG just to try to trick an opponent.

At this point in his career though... does he really need practice? He's out there for walk thrus and in meetings... a day off to keep it out of the cold isn't crazy.
Dude's been playing for like 20 years... and he's practiced all year with these guys... so his timing is down.

I think it's the Pats being the Pats (even though the hand injury is likely somewhat legit) and the media doesn't have much to talk about so it's a traditional nonstory story for them to use heading into championship weekend.
I don't think it is intended to "trick" anyone. Except maybe the sports bettor
