It caused enough discomfort for him to spend quite a while on the bench flexing and rotating his throwing arm, trying to work out whatever kinks where there. It could be nothing. It could be something. Actually, anything that involves Brady is always something, especially in a season in which he's trying to come back from a major knee injury. Brady hurt his shoulder in the New England Patriots' 27-24 victory over the Washington Redskins on Friday night. It was late in the first half when he was pressed to the ground by All-Pro defensive tackle Haynesworth after a third down incomplete pass. "Anytime someone 350 pounds falls on him, it's going to hurt him," New England right tackle Matt Light said. "You just know it's part of the game, and Tom's been through it before and you know he can take it." Brady went to the bench, where he stretched his arm repeatedly as the half came to a close and again after returning from the locker room after halftime. Brady did not play in the second half, even though most of the first-team offense returned for the first drive of the third quarter. He then left the sideline and returned to the locker room. In the fourth quarter, the Patriots announced Brady's injury as a sore shoulder, a diagnosis that gave coach Bill Belichick a twitch in his both of his shoulders. The Patriots coach was his classic self, displaying the annoyed shrug so familiar when anyone asks him about an injury. Despite the team's announcement, Belichick said Brady had only "some bumps and bruises, just like everybody else who played in the game." He also said that he had not planned for Brady to play any of the second half. Brady did not speak to reporters after the game.Full Article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobb Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Today in a conference call, Belichick said it was a "football decision" to remove him. We'll probably never know the actual reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
