The most worried-about livestock in New England last week was Tom Brady’s calf, but it apparently is much better now.
The Patriots quarterback was a full participant in practice yesterday, and wasn’t listed on the team’s injury report. He missed last Thursday’s practice and was limited Friday, but said he didn’t think the injury affected his accuracy.
“I don’t think so,” Brady said, via the Boston Herald. “I don’t think there are any excuses for the way the outcome of the game was, but hopefully we’re better this week.”
He was a decidedly un-Brady 29-of-56 passing (51.8 percent).
The Dolphins pass-rush (four sacks, two forced fumbles) had as much to do with that lack of accuracy as anything, something that might not be as much of a worry this week.
