As a Brady owner I would love to throw out my projections but at this point in time I refuse. Lets just say I'm a bit fearful statistically for him this season. No Givens was not a top notch playmaker but did have nice chemistry and made big catches. Now that is in the hands of a rookie. My prediction will be after I see/ hear progress being made. He's looking like trade bait.

(Rotoworld) Tom Brady was seen wearing a hefty knee brace at minicamp earlier this week.

Impact: The brace is reportedly similar to the one Brady sported after injuring his "shin" in the Buffalo game last season. He completed all practices during the week and it shouldn't be a major concern.
