Patriots fans who watched last night’s game likely caught cameras panning to Jacoby Brissett being tended to on the sideline last night by trainers with what announcers Jim Nance and Phil Simms speculated might have been a thumbnail issue for the rookie.
Unfortunately, news came out on Friday that the prognosis is a little more serious than that.
According to WEEI’s Mike Petraglia, Brissett suffered a torn ligament in his right thumb that likely will reportedly require surgery to stabilize it, which obviously now further complicates what was already a pretty murky quarterback situation.
