The media has been scrutinizing him way too much in the build up to the Super Bowl XLII on Sunday. The injury, a high ankle sprain suffered during the AFC Championship win over San Diego Chargers, should not be downplayed as it is severe and will cause Brady unease during the game but there is no doubt as to whether he will play or not. An injury of this type usually requires several weeks for full recovery. The coach, Bill Belichick said in a pool report about Brady’s training session that he had seen better and that there were always plenty of things to work on.

There may be a sense of Déjà vu here as a similar ankle injury struck Brady before the Super Bowl XXXVI during their AFC Championship Game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He helped them win it that year. Let’s see what happens this time.
