There has been varying reports as to the severity of Tom Brady's hand injury over the past week or two. There was even some question as to whether or not he would play in the AFC Championship game.
After the Patriots win over the Jaguars, Brady spoke to the level of concern the team had, citing he would not come this far and have his season end on a handoff.
After his outstanding performance this past week Brady's hand should only continue to improve.
That's exactly what has happened according to NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport. Brady had an appointment earlier this week to remove the dozen stitches in his throwing hand.
Rapoport suggests that Brady is now truly on to Minneapolis, and ready to play in the big game.
