Tom Brady's knee injury suffered in the Bucaneers' Super Bowl winning season was reportedly more serious than expected.
Tampa Bay Times' Rick Stroud initially reported Thursday that the quarterback suffered a partially torn medial collateral ligament in his left knee during his final season with the Patriots. But, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport later reported that Brady's MCL was actually fully torn, requiring surgery after leading Tampa Bay to a Super Bowl LV win.
During the 11–5 regular season with the Bucs, Brady recorded 4,633 yards passing with 40 touchdowns and 12 interceptions in the franchise's march to a championship.
