Sources: Brady done with severe knee injury

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is expected to miss the rest of the 2008 season with what two sources described as a severe injury to his left knee, suffered in the first quarter of the Pats’ 17-10 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs at Gillette Stadium Sunday.

While New England coach Bill Belichick said in his postgame press conference that he had no update on the status of Brady’s injury, a source close to the quarterback indicated it involved serious damage to the knee. That could include a torn anterior cruciate ligament and perhaps other ligament and cartilage damage.

“It’s bad,” a team source said. “We’re going to have to play without him.”

Brady was hurt as he stepped up in the pocket to make a throw to wideout Randy Moss. Chiefs safety Bernard Pollard, who was on the ground, lunged forward and struck Brady’s leg, which buckled as he released the ball.

Brady was helped off the field and was later led down a staircase by team officials, presumably to undergo tests.

Fourth-year quarterback Matt Cassel, who had thrown just 39 passes in his career before Sunday, replaced Brady and completed 13 of 18 passes for 152 yards and a touchdown. Cassel, who backed up Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart at USC, hasn’t been a starting quarterback since high school. He won a competition with Matt Gutierrez during the preseason to retain the job as Brady’s primary backup.




How will I ever sleep at night? :evil:

Stay down, bitch.

I feel bad for Pollard and Brady.

damnit claythan you reerun.

I don't wish injury on the guy, that totally sucks. But on the other hand, the Pats always seem to make something out of nothing. Watch Cassel step up and surprise just like Brady did when Bledsoe went down. So I guess I don't feel like "Oh no, whatever will they do..." That's football.

Well now we're assured to go 0-16 or have a bunch of guys get hurt, it never fails when you do this.

Damn dude your a moron....

Its about time you go back on ignore....

Huard would have performed reconstructive knee surgery on himself, and been good to go after halftime.

I agree...

How stupid is this?

Do you want Stafford or not? Christ, you're never happy.

Yes, because the mojo of a virginal dork from Texas is the most powerful force on earth. LMAO

I don't feel sorry for anyone. Pollard didn't mean to take him out for the season, it's football. I guess I felt sorry for LJ last year, but he's back. it's life.

I hate all Boston sports, so I'll be happy to see New England suck this year. It wasn't that long ago that they were a bad team.

Everytime he did it with a Broncos player we had someone get injured.....he's bad luck.

ok, that's funny
