Report: Brady’s Comeback Nearly Complete

In the wake of being sidelined last season with torn anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in his left knee, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is now operating with no restrictions, according to Albert Breer of SportingNews.com. Brady is reportedly, “more than excited,” about his medical progress, according to the report, which cited sources close to Brady. “He’s full-go,” a source told Breer. Brady’s rehabilitation has received strong reviews from his teammates. “It’s been great to see him,” wide receiver Wes Welker said. “He looks like the same guy to me.” Patriots coach Bill Belchick told reporters last month that Brady has been able to work without any limitations. However, Brady will likely need to wear a knee brace, according to Patriots owner Robert Kraft. That’s a standard precaution following the kind of severe injury that Brady suffered.
