Forget the threat of a federal government shutdown, the only thing on the minds of a lot of New Englanders Friday is whether star quarterback Tom Brady will play in Sunday’s AFC Championship Game.
Brady, who has been limited in practice all week with an injury to his right hand, spoke to reporters Friday for the first time in a couple of days, but did not have a whole lot to say.
Asked if it was 'thumbs up or down' for playing Sunday, Brady responded, " We'll see." He declined to say if he had thrown footballs during practice.
Brady wore gloves during practice and at the podium during his news conference.
With the exception of the entire 2008 season, when he was hurt in the first game, Brady has never missed a start because of injury.
