Brady Okay
Foxborough, MA – Patriots coach Bill Belichick says Tom Brady left Friday night’s exhibition game so the coaches could look at the backup – not because of injury.
The team had announced at the game that Brady had a sore right shoulder. Belichick said in a conference call Saturday it was a “football decision” to remove him.
Brady left the game against the Washington Redskins after he was crushed to the turf by defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth. The two-time Super Bowl MVP was seen on the bench working out the kinks in his throwing arm.
Brady missed all of last season with torn knee ligaments.
