REPORT: BRADY OUT FOR THE YEAR WITH TORN ACL
Posted by Mike Florio on September 7, 2008, 7:28 p.m.
Michael Silver of Yahoo! Sports reports that Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is expected to miss the rest of the 2008 season with a “severe injury to his left knee.”

The injury is widely believed to be a torn ACL. Silver says that there could be other ligament and cartilage damage.

“It’s bad,” a team source told Silver. “We’re going to have to play without him.”

The starter will be Matt Cassel. Unless the Pats bring back Vinny Testaverde. Or Doug Flutie. Or Steve Grogan.

UPDATE: Silver’s report has been updated — the ACL tear is confirmed.

Two things. It seems to me that this has to be just a rumor. After the trauma that knee suffered, there's got to be too much swelling to be able to make a diagnosis anywhere near as accurate as "an ACL tear". I agree that a diagnosis such as "it's bad" is certainly possible at this point, but in terms of pointing to the specific ligament? That's almost certainly speculation (whether it's by doctors and team officials or not) at this point. They'll know tomorrow when the swelling is down and they have a chance to take the MRI. My guess is that some doctor somewhere said "it's probably an ACL tear" or "it's possibly an ACL tear" and that got inflated in the heat of the moment and by word of mouth. There's a reason though that they didn't take an MRI today, and it's not "Bob Kraft can't afford to have an MRI done on Sunday."

Secondly, it will be interesting to see this as a case study of "a key injury cake a superbowl favorite out of contention in a snap."

Anyway, go Bills!

His backup is a former late round draft pick; I'd say BB would be doing an outstanding job if they finished with eight to nine wins.

That would have been equivalent to judging a Packer coach with Nall as the backup QB who we had to rely on to start all year

Yes he was, but right now you are replacing the best QB in the game with a sixth round pick as opposed to an aging Drew Bledsoe. And Brady was rising as opposed to Cassel being forced into action

I've always been big on the Bills. Before the season I said that they'd challenge the Patriots, even with Brady. Not win the division, but at least be breathing down their neck. The Bills have a good QB, an great RB, a great WR in Lee Evans and a solid group of other WRs and a good defense. I can see them winning 11 games and taking the division.

The Jets are not favorites, not at all. This makes them more competitive, but not favorites. They are still a borderline wild card team.

Right now...this early in the season...that's an opinion. You have yours, I have mine. When the season's over, we'll know who was better, the Bills or the Jets. I honestly believe the Jets will have a better record than the Bills. And honestly...I wouldn't count the Patriots out just yet. They could sign a FA, make a trade, or go with their backup and suprise some people.

BTW, an ACL repair really takes two years for a full recovery.

Generally, but considering that "mobility is not a huge part of Tom Brady's game" he'll probably be back next year at some point, just not able to run as well as he could have say, yesterday.

Super Bowl losers have a history of not making the Playoff the next season. I torn my ACL got back up and played, but threw 2 INTs then that was it. I had the surgery and it takes 2 years for full recovery. The doctor pulled on my leg too see if it was loose then he told me I torn my ACL. He told me we would know for sure with an MRI. MRI confirmed ACL was torn. Said all this to show the doctor is saying he thinks its and ACL, MRI should confirm it tomorrow. He is done.

I think there is a lot to be said for this perspective. As the saying goes, "to be the best, you've got to beat the best". There is an argument to be made that Tom Brady is a Hall of Famer already on what he's accomplished so far, and on a certain level I want someone with that level of talent around and healthy to show what he could do. It doesn't matter, for example, that Gale Sayers played for the Bears--losing his brilliant career to a blown knee was a real loss to the NFL and was a real shame.

I also think there is something to be said for having empathy for anybody facing the loss of their livelihood because of injury or illness. As I get older, I see more and more cases of people whose lives or careers are shattered or compromised by having to deal with maladies beyond their control. We shouldn't look at people, including successful athletes, as though they were Strat-O-Matic cards.

Brady suffered a serious knee injury against the Chiefs that will end his 2008 season, reports NFL Network’s Adam Schefter.

Meanwhile, free-agent quarterback Chris Simms is scheduled to arrive in New England Monday morning for a workout and a physical, Schefter reports. If all goes well, Simms could be a Patriot by the end of the day. Kansas City and Tennessee, each of whom had quarterbacks suffer significant injuries on Sunday, also have contacted Simms.

Actually, a Lachman test can determine ACL injury (see tear).

Of course they would do the MRI just to confirm and make sure there isn't collateral damage (sometimes you'll see a bone chip from the patella).

The diagnosis can be made w/o imaging study with reasonable certainity.

I'm one of the biggest assholes on this forum and when I read the news, I was first surprised, but then I just felt downright bad for the dude. If you are actually riled up for this news then you aren't a prick (can't be), you just have downright character flaws.

An offseason for a QB involves so much time just hangin with your offense, building relationships, getting excited for the upcoming season, throwing up together running in august... all that shit. every single day -- all day.

man, the first quarter... of the first game ...

ill always be a QB at heart and tbh, news like this kinda breaks it ... i feel for the guy. i hate the pats as much as anybody but brady has always been a consummate professional. it's too bad.

i'd rather just see a team get BEAT then have them lose a key player like this so early in the year

I have torn my ACL twice and i can tell you that the MRI is only a confirmation of what they already know. WHen they put the leg at a 45 degree angle and pull on the lower part (the calf), the whole joint will move forward, and that my friend means you are toast and have min 9 months to go through pain and rehab.

Brady is done. Too bad, but lets all remember that the Pack gets a pick based on the success of the NYJ's this year. So it appears that Favre continues to live the charmed life. He will most likely take the NYJ's into the playoffs.

If its an ACL, he will be starting again next year. While it may take up to two years to be full confident in the knee, he isn't playing DE, WR, or CB. He needs to make movements in short areas without tremendous changes in direction. As long as he can land on the leg (it was his left, correct?) in his follow through, he will be playing in 2009.

This sucks. I don't like Brady just like the next guy but you never want to see a one of the best players in the league go down to injury. It makes things more interesting when all the best players are duking it out. I sure as hell would rather face the Patriots with Brady otherwise it would be a hollow victory without him.

I have torn my ACL twice and i can tell you that the MRI is only a confirmation of what they already know. WHen they put the leg at a 45 degree angle and pull on the lower part (the calf), the whole joint will move forward, and that my friend means you are toast and have min 9 months to go through pain and rehab.

I was going to post this last night. I tore the mcl in my elbow and the orthopedist knew immediately when he moved my arm in a certain direction. The MRI just reveals to what extent.

They supposedly are bringing in Chris Simms for a look.

I saw last night they're not alone, either; the Chiefs also plan to bring in Simms for a look.

I wonder if he'll be one of those guys who sees ghosts of guys coming at his knees...

I would guess this means the end of NE's dynasty.Thats my thought as well. Look at Carson Palmer, he hasn't been the same since that playoff game where his knee got jacked. Too bad for brady. I wanted to see him fail on the field not on the sidelines.

Somewhere a supermodel is crying.

It's a damn fucking shame people hate on a guy because he's prettier than they are, despite their achievements.

Yes, you Paco you pathetic little crust.sound to me like a guy who wasted there 1st pick in fantasy football on Brady.

Yeah, I have Brady on my fantasy team. And that also has nothing to do with this. Finding any kind of humor or benefit in the injury of one of the game's top players just because he's someone you'll never be is pathetic.

I'll never be you but I'd pay $6.89 to watch you get kicked in the junk. Is that the same thing?

Tell you what Zool, because you're like a little girl, I'll let you lick my junk for $6.25. I'm only giving you a discount because Mad says you have an unusually long tongue.

There is a moratorium on new Favre threads. He's the next best thing.

You know, now that I think about it, I hope every player in the NFL dies of food poisoning or herpes, except Favre. Then he collects the MVP award and another Super Bowl. Yay, Favre!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think when the league's MVP, and the QB of a team that went undefeated in the regular season last year goes down for the whole year in the first of game one, it's big news. Do you disagree?

Anyone else see Pete Prisco's article that essentially says the Pats are screwed, and they did it to themselves because they relied on a star passer?

So what is a team that gets a franchise QB supposed to do? Trade him away for fear that he'll win them too many games?
