Brady undergoes surgery
Patriots quarterback Tom Brady underwent surgery to repair his injured left knee Monday at the Kerland-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic in Los Angeles, league sourced told the Globe.
Patriots quarterback Tom Brady underwent surgery to repair his injured left knee Monday at the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic in Los Angeles, NFL sources said. One source indicated that the procedure went well.Brady's surgery took place 29 days after he was injured in the Patriots' 17-10 season-opening win over the Chiefs. Multiple sources told the Globe that Brady tore the anterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament in his knee when hit by Kansas City safety Bernard Pollard.
In cases similar to Brady's, doctors often wait for the MCL to heal before reconstructing the ACL. That is typically a four- to six-week window, so Brady is closer to the early side.

Get well Tom!
All I can say is the O-Line is going to have to be even better next season....Tom was never the most mobile QB , and coming off surgery, a year older, he is going to need even better protection. Nick Kaczur, got to step up son!!
It would also be nice if the Patriots went back to more of a short passing game with a quick release by the QB.
It worked for Favre all those years in Green Bay, and it worked for Brady's health until Randy Moss arrived. Now Brady looks about as healthy as Dante Culpepper.
Get well soon, Tom--we miss you!
