Source: Brady a go despite sore, swelled-up knee

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has swelling and soreness in his knee but will start Sunday against the Jets, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Another ailing Patriot, tight end Rob Gronkowski, also is expected to be active for the AFC East matchup in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Gronkowski had bruising and bleeding in his chest area from a hit he absorbed from Seahawks safety Earl Thomas two weeks ago, but is well enough to play, the source said.

After playing last weekend against the 49ers, Brady sat out practices Wednesday and Thursday before returning Friday.
