When it was revealed in February that Tom Brady was undergoing knee surgery for an injury that would keep him sidelined from team activities until at least June, it understandably raised some eyebrows.
A 43-year-old quarterback getting knee surgery that will knock him out for a handful of months is significant no matter what. But fortunately, it sounds like everything is going well with Brady’s recovery. “I talked to him last week,” Bucs GM Jason Licht said, via Jenna Laine of ESPN.com. “I know things are going well. I don’t want to put an exact timeline on it right now because I don’t want to set expectations one way or the other, but I know that things are going very well.”
The injury also apparently wasn’t out of left field for the team, and the procedure had been planned for a while. Brady had been planning on having the surgery for months, and the news was “not a surprise” to the Bucs, a source told Laine.
Licht also called it a “minor surgical procedure” although it can’t really be that minor if Bruce Arians was saying back in February that he was hopeful Brady could do some 7-on-7 work in June. Obviously if there’s anyone who doesn’t need much offseason time it’s Brady, but this will still be something to monitor as the ageless wonder gets set to turn 44 in August.
Up next ring #8!!!!
Eight is great. LFG
What’s that? Gotta amputate the whole leg? What a shame.
“The injury also apparently wasn’t out of left field for the team, and the procedure had been planned for a while. Brady had been planning on having the surgery for months, and the news was “not a surprise” to the Bucs, a source told Laine.”
This is literally saying the same thing twice.
mark my words, brady will play for another 20 years but he will need to have a ‘minor surgical procedure’ on each limb as he slowly becomes an automaton
cyborg. why not?
Must’ve hurt it carrying those duffel bags full of cash.
Na. He’s got a guy for that.
His guy for that has a guy for that. Remember, he is not the “bread winner” in his family
Even if nothing they said was true….they’d be saying the same statements.
$100 says that Tom is in Europe having some form of stem cell repair to add cartilage to his knee.
Double down that he runs for 4 TD next year.
you think he *needs* stem cells? Alex Guerrero scoffs at that.
Tom Brady might be the first QB to play in a wheelchair
and win a title
Rob Parker and Max Kellerman are foaming at the mouth at this news.
I want to know exactly what’s going on. “It’s minor” and it having to take months and months to heal is concerning. It’s possible it is minor, but I want to know more.
