There are many ways to respond to the rumors that Tom Brady might not be 100% healthy. After word circulated that the 40-year-old jammed his right hand and suffered a cut during a handoff Wednesday—and even more so after he missed practice Thursday—we saw just about all of those ways play out. From afar, Dr. David Chao suggested Brady may have an open finger dislocation. Riley McAtee investigated reports that Brady's thumb looked boxy in a glove during the open period of practice by looking at blown-up photos (then again, whose thumb doesn't look weird at 12x). Doug Kyed analyzed the humor in teammates' responses to questions about the hand and came away optimistic. Jaguars defensive tackle Malik Jackson also seemed to doubt the seriousness of Brady's condition.
Surely, we'll get many more suggestions, investigations, analyses, and doubts today as Brady is scheduled to put his hands on the podium and speak to the media. But this is far from the first instance of panic over Brady's health before a big game. Remember Brady's "flu-like" symptoms before the 2014 AFC championship game in Denver? Or the boot he was spotted in before Super Bowl XLII? In January 2005, he had a 103-degree fever the night before the AFC title game.

I wish Tom Brady well, but I’m not following the NFL and don’t GAFF about the Super Bowl.
If it doesn’t fit, you must quit.
Hi.

Translation: give a flying f@ck.

Belichek and craft have it covered...
More like a Vegas point-shaving scheme.
thank goodness it WASN’T hemmoroids
Brady will still throw for 400 yards and 4 td’s...
Sheesh!
There are a few Tom Brady’s Hand parody accounts on twitter. Maybe one of them will appear at the press conference. :D
I call Psy-Ops.
Brady will still burn the shaguars for 30 points. Final is 34 - 12 Gaytriots.
This is the crap that Sports Illustrated spews out.
Not on that defense he won’t...
(Hint: The same guy that put together the NY Giants defense that have handed Brady his only 2 superbowl losses has put together the Jaguars defense.)
No one is better at that than the coach of the Patriots.
