According to multiple reports, Brady injured his knee when New England ran a double-pass to Brady late in the game. Brady tripped during that play, reportedly leading to his current injury.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately for New England, this injury isn\u2019t expected to sideline Brady for Sunday\u2019s battle against the New York Jets. Brady was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boston25news.com\/sports\/tom-brady-appears-on-injury-report-for-first-time-this-season\/876715715\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">listed as limited<\/a> on Wednesday\u2019s practice report but was reportedly \u201cgood to go\u201d for Sunday\u2019s game. This absence likely doesn\u2019t change that status.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting that this is not the first time Tom Brady has missed a Friday practice. Per WEEI\u2019s <strong>Ryan Hannable<\/strong>, Brady missed a Friday practice back in 2015 prior to Week 15. The Patriots beat the Titans 33-16 in that game, while Brady went 23\/35 for 267 yards and two touchdowns. Granted, he missed that practice with an illness instead of a knee injury, but it\u2019s historic proof Brady doesn\u2019t need the practice to play good football.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Brady had a knee injury surface back in 2016. Back in the waning moments of Week 11, Brady suffered a knee injury and was limited leading up to Week 12\u2019s showdown against the New York Jets. While he didn\u2019t miss practice, he was limited the entire week. Brady ended up playing, leading the Patriots to a come-from-behind 22-17 victory over the AFC East rivals.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly enough, the New York Jets quarterback situation is in a similar dilemma. Rookie quarterback <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/D\/DarnSa00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sam Darnold<\/a><\/strong> suffered an injury a few weeks back and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/M\/McCoJo01.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Josh McCown<\/a> <\/strong>is expected to start in his place. McCown last faced the Patriots in Week Six of 2017. During that matchup, McCown went 31\/47 for 354 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions.<\/p>\n<p>Main photo:<br \/>\n<a id=\"-z6PEiVNQAxecLhjisdZXA\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1067116880\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'-z6PEiVNQAxecLhjisdZXA',sig:'gdss8veiNRWKk-T-fyq4w1NO-aq5x_ez36JclkadW_w=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1067116880',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tom Brady Misses Practice: The New England Patriots star quarterback missed Friday&#8217;s practice session after being listed as limited on Thursday&#8217;s report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2376,"featured_media":53770,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[36,5],"tags":[61,38,40,331],"class_list":["post-53768","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl-news","category-patriots","tag-football","tag-new-england-patriots","tag-nfl","tag-tom-brady"],"modified_by":"David Latham, Managing Editor","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53768","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2376"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53768"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53768\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53770"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53768"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53768"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53768"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
