Brady to miss preseason game vs. Bucs with foot injury (1 Viewer)

Brady to miss preseason game vs. Bucs with foot injury

Another link but does not mention which foot.

Sorry if this is old news, just saw the blurb on NFL.com news. Anyone have insight to the nature of this injury?
FWIW, I don't claim any insider info and this is purely an educated guess, but he was fine earlier in the week. I suspect they are using the foot injury as an excuse for at least 2 reasons. Reason one is to protect him from a potential beating like the one he took in last years pre-season game (2?) against TEN. The OL is really thin and there has been a lot of shuffling of players; It makes a lot of sense not to take any chances. Reason number 2 is they need to make a decision on their backup QB and give Cassell, Gutierrez & O'Connel a long look. Gutierrez was banged up earlier in the week and it will be interesting to see how much he plays.

This is what I believe (hope & pray) is the case, but I would be neglect in my duties if I did not mention that it was reported at least once during TC (2 weeks ago maybe?) that Brady had been hit on the leg and seemed to be in some discomfort. However, Brady returned quickly and I have heard nothing since. IMO, if the team was really worried about Bradys leg they would have brought in a veteran by now.

Amazingly, this will make a preseason game even more boring.

Was hoping to see the Bucs D square up against a great offense, even for a few reps. Oh well.
