Purely precautionary

Back at practice today, quarterback Tom Brady shrugged off any suggestions that he has not participated in a few of this week’s practices or was wearing a brace on his left knee today because there is something seriously wrong.

``Yeah, knee’s fine. I just don’t want to hurt it,’’ he said. Missing the practices, ``I think it’s just preventative. Same as like the knee brace, you just try to avoid injury before _ what do they call it, pre-therapy or whatever the trainers call it. Just trying to be a little bit more proactive and try to take care of yourself. You see all of these quarterbacks, whose left knees get hurt _ [Cincinnati Bengals QB] Carson Palmer and [Chicago Bears QB] Brian Griese _ and the last thing you want to do is hurt your knee, so I figured I’m slow enough as it is. This thing (brace) can’t slow me down much more.’’

More to come on Brady's reaction to SI article and his comments re: Deion Branch. . . . .
