A report at Pro Football Talk has revealed that Tom Brady’s MRI report from on or about August 15th, may have revealed that Brady suffered more than a deep bone bruise, perhaps a fracture. Here’s a clip from Pro Football Talk.
“A reader tells us that WEEI in Boston has reported that Patriots quarterback Tom Brady actually has or had a broken bone in his foot, but that Brady still plans to play in the regular-season opener on September 7. (We’ve since dialed up WEEI over the Internet, and while the guys are debating whether or not Matt Cassel can get it done if called upon to play, they’ve said nothing over the last 30 minutes or so about whether or not Brady has or had a broken bone in his foot. It could be that they were speculating, but since we typed this thing up and have been holding it for a half hour, we’re compelled to salvage the article.)
Juice: Can a world class athlete like Tom Brady perform with a fracture, if he has one? Yep. But, if a pulling Guard incidentally hammers down on Tom’s foot, the fracture (if he has one) could become a bigger problem.
PS- Here’s an audio clip from WEEI, which may or may NOT provide insight.

If Brady dosn’t play, this site will have more visitors than ESPN- for a day!

I listened to the audio, still no confirmation about a fracture. WTF
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:26 am
again, we’re blowing this up. And I like it!

Easy- It’s a rumor until kickoff.

I’m still on the fence here. Belichick says he expects Brady will be ready
September 3rd, 2008 at 1:35 pm
Why won’t Belichick just clear up and admit the fracture?
September 3rd, 2008 at 1:36 pm
Admitting the fracture is weakening for the team. No worries, we want him to play.
September 3rd, 2008 at 1:37 pm
You don’t want him play. YOU DON’T WANT HIM TO PLAY!!!!
September 3rd, 2008 at 1:37 pm

He’ll play. He does have a fracture. But he’ll play.
September 3rd, 2008 at 1:38 pm
As I mentioned here last week it’s still a rumor
September 3rd, 2008 at 1:39 pm
The Patriot reign is over.
September 3rd, 2008 at 1:40 pm
Still, no affirmation of a fracture, or sign that he’s not playing. RUMORS people! RUMORS!!!! I’ll bet anyone here, vis Paypal, that Brady starts. Honestly.
