Brady is not expected to miss any time and has been practicing. And from what I have heard practicing with fluidity and not limited. (We'll have to wait and see how he gets listed on the injury report.)The link indicated he'd miss the first 2-4 games. So that link is still very erroneous and misleading.

Sportsline has the story
Tom Brady, QB NE
News: According to a report on WEEI radio in Boston, sources have indicated that Patriots QB Tom Brady has a cracked bone in his foot. Brady is still expected to play on Sunday. Brady has not played in any preseason games, but on Monday he ran ran through agility drills and said he's to play in the opener against Kansas City. During his media session Monday, Brady said his foot was making progress. "Everyday it gets better," Brady said. "You get treatment on it and as time goes it heels and feels better enough to where I can go out there. I was out there last week and I will be out there a little more this week."
Analysis: It appears Brady will play through the injury, if in fact the report is correct. It's hard to tell with the Patriots since they keep injuries secretive. It's hard to imagine Brady missing this game, but keep an eye on the injury report and continue to check here for the latest information on his foot up until game time. Hopefully this is something that won't linger as the season goes on.
As a Brady owner who reached on him int eh first round in our league (6 pts for all passing TD's and 1 pt per 25 yards) I'm a little worried but it sure seems like it's a manageable injury he will play through.

Belichick comments on Brady to KC reporters
Posted by Mike Reiss, Globe Staff September 3, 2008 02:55 PM
In his conference call with Kansas City reporters earlier today, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick was asked if quarterback Tom Brady will play in Sunday's season opener.
"He's practicing and I expect he'll be ready to go," Belichick responded.
According to one reporter present on the call, Belichick was pressed further for more details about Brady. Belichick then said: "I expect him to be out there today and I expect he'll be out there the rest of the week."
Brady goes through drills
Posted by Chad Finn September 3, 2008 02:27 PM
In the time that media members were present during the Patriots' afternoon practice, quarterback Tom Brady was seen jogging, running through agility bag drills, and working on three-step drops while throwing to a stationary target.
Any activity can be considered something of an encouraging sign considering Brady did not take a snap during the entire preseason while suffering from what has been reported to be a deep bone bruise in his right foot.
The reigning NFL Most Valuable Player indicated during his weekly press conference Monday that the foot has been getting "progressively better over the last few weeks" and he will be ready to go when the Patriots open their season at home against the Chiefs Sunday.
"If it's up to me, I'm going to play," Brady said. "I'm always hoping I'm going to be out there. I'll be preparing the same way."
It's worth noting that Brady has been uncommonly durable since taking over for Drew Bledsoe during the 2001 season - he has started 126 consecutive games, the third-longest active streak in the NFL behind Brett Favre and Peyton Manning.

I don't think the injury being manageable is the biggest issue - the big issue is does Brady still deserve top-3, top-5 status with a broken bone in his foot? Sure he'll probably play, but what's the likelihood he gets as many "garbage" TDs this year as last? I didn't think before that he would put up the same numbers just because it goes against the numbers, but I really don't now because they would have to be idiots to let him play in games where they are up big and have him in the game AND passing.He's almost definitely the #1 QB still, but I think you have to reconsider taking him that high - read: first 6-8 picks. Obvioulsy this is for those still to draft - if you've already drafted then just hope for the best but scale your expectations down just a notch.As a Brady owner who reached on him int eh first round in our league (6 pts for all passing TD's and 1 pt per 25 yards) I'm a little worried but it sure seems like it's a manageable injury he will play through.

At this point it's almost worthless to talk about Brady until we see him on Sunday. With the Pats you're just not going to get too much info whether it's good or bad.
If you want to play detective I find it incredibly hard to believe the Pats would be going into the season with a horrible Matt Cassell and a very untested Kevin O'Connell if they were really concerned about Brady. That would be an absolute recipe for disaster. If there were very legit concerns I think at the least they would have kept Guitterez around and more likely been active as far as bringing in a veteran with some type of starting experience...especially with the circus act Cassell threw up in preseason. If Brady does have something that's "not right" than shame on the Pats for not covering their butts correctly.

Actually I think this is 1,001. The funny part is even though we're in complete agreement here I actually ended up with Maroney as he really slipped in my redraft league but it was at a point where the expectations can be very realistic.For the 1,000th time . . .

This was the outcome . . .Brady Sr. touches on his son's foot injury
Posted by Mike Reiss, Globe Staff September 3, 2008 05:40 PM
Tom Brady Sr. was surfing the World Wide Web this morning when he came across information that his son, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, had an MRI in mid-August that revealed a cracked bone in his right foot.
The information ran counter to what Brady Sr. had previously discussed with his son.
“He did tell us that he had stress on the bone, and that’s why he wore a [protective] boot for a day – one day,” Brady Sr. said. “He has never told us that he had any broken bones or fractured bones in his foot. All I knew is that he had stress on a bone, and there is a difference there.”
Brady Sr., who flew into New England Tuesday night in anticipation for the Patriots’ season-opening game against the Chiefs on Sunday, acknowledged that he has not directly asked his son anything further about his injury, so there is a possibility that the information about a cracked bone is accurate.
Based on their previous discussions, Brady Sr. said of his son’s condition that “to the best of my knowledge, there is nothing with his body right now that is going to keep him out of one game for one second.” He also believes that “if there was a broken bone in his foot, they wouldn’t have him doing agility drills.”
Brady Sr. said he saw his son last night and that he is “in fine shape” and “this is nothing that is going to impact him at all.”
“He’s extraordinary optimistic and raring to go,” he added. “He’s champing at the bit."
Brady fully participated in the Patriots' practice on Wednesday, and coach Bill Belichick, speaking with Kansas City-based reporters, said that he expected Brady to be "ready to go" for the season opener.
I'm not sure how you can say the things you say, how if he was healthy you didn't think he was going to reach last year's numbers. Now, with the foot, they'd be silly to have him in the game and passing with an injured foot.Then you go ahead and say he's almost definetely still the No. 1 QB.......that doesn't make any sense.I think you make some good points but are afraid at the backlash and cover by saying he's most definitely still the No. 1 QB.I'll say it for you. If he is injured and he's soar, he won't be passing TD's in garbage time. The Patriots did everything you could possibly do during a regular season. They went undefeated, they set an enormous amount of offensive records that had all of our heads spinning but in the end, they don't have a SB ring to show for it and 10 years from now when we're all talking about rings and teams, this great team isn't even in the conversation.So you can bet that the focus isn't on Brady being the No. 1 fantasy QB, it'll be on the SB ring that evaded them last year.With this news of Brady, I'd drop him dramatically in fantasy football. Dramatically meaning from waaaaay ahead at number 1 to a close No. 3 behind Tony Romo and Drew Brees. Even with that said, 95 percent of money drafts are in the books and this is irrelevant, if you have Brady on your team, you live with the pick and hope with your fingers crossed that this story that's breaking the day or two before the first regular season game isn't true.I don't think the injury being manageable is the biggest issue - the big issue is does Brady still deserve top-3, top-5 status with a broken bone in his foot? Sure he'll probably play, but what's the likelihood he gets as many "garbage" TDs this year as last?

Does anyone care what is actually going on regardless of what may or may not be happening with Brady's health? He's now fully participating in practice. He's listed as such on the official league injury report . . . with his never ending shoulder injury. I would not knock Brady down any from wherever anyone had him before.
AAABatteries
Footballguy
Sure it does. Just to explain my reasoning, say I had him projected for 46 TDs before this news - maybe I knock him down to 40, and have Romo and Brees at 38 and 37. So, maybe that takes Brady from top-5 to end of the 1st round in my rankings - to me, that's a big difference. I mean, do we all forget how many threads we had last year when Brady was throwing 4th quarter TDs while up 20-40 pts and everyone was saying "what are they doing"? I understand David's comment that he's practising, but you can't convince me that IF he has a broken bone in his foot that they will use him the same way as they did last year. I think the way they used him was an anomaly of sorts - it went against what NFL coaches typically do and even if I thought Bellicheck would do it again with a healthy Brady there is no way I think they do it with a "recovering" Brady.I'm not sure how you can say the things you say, how if he was healthy you didn't think he was going to reach last year's numbers. Now, with the foot, they'd be silly to have him in the game and passing with an injured foot.Then you go ahead and say he's almost definetely still the No. 1 QB.......that doesn't make any sense.I don't think the injury being manageable is the biggest issue - the big issue is does Brady still deserve top-3, top-5 status with a broken bone in his foot?

Good lawd, these fans are #######' tiresome. Most of them probably think that Bill Belichick is the only head coach in franchise history. Nobody in New England cared about this team for decades, yet during the Brady/Belichick Super Bowl gluttony we see "lifer" Pats fans all over the place. We're pretty sure 98 percent of them never saw Steve Grogan, Tony Eason or Jim Plunkett sport the old-school Patriots logo on their helmets, and also think Irving Fryar is a local priest. Congrats Patriots fans, you've earned championships in both football and bandwagon-jumping.
