BLOOMINGTON, Minn — New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady had an encouraging report – not to Eagles fans – of his injured right hand.
“It is getting better,” Brady said during Tuesday’s Super Bowl media session. “It is not quite where quite where I want to be, so I am trying to protect it the best way I can.”
Brady injured the hand during practice on Jan. 17, reportedly during a handoff exchange. According to NFL Network, he had 12 stitches that have since been removed.
Even with the injured hand, Brady completed 26 of 38 passes for 290 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Patriots 24-20 AFC championship win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
