QUARTERBACKS
Tom Brady, NE – Knee Reconstruction
Patriots’ QB Tom Brady passed a big test on Thursday night. Not only did he start the team’s first pre-season game but he played for most of the first half and he looked very good throwing for two touchdowns. As expected Brady wore a knee brace and he spent a lot of time throwing from the shotgun formation. It would be interesting to know how his knee felt after the game, but I suspect that the Patriots will keep that information quiet. If he doesn’t miss any practice time I think it will be safe to assume that his knee is fine.

Reggie Bush, NO – Recovering from Microfracture Knee Surgery
Saints’ RB Reggie Bush, who missed practice last week after tweaking his surgically repaired knee, was able to practice this week without much of a problem and it looks like he will play in tonight’s pre-season game. Bush is still dealing with some soreness in the knee but it isn’t stopping him from taking part in team drills. He continues to get treatment on the joint before and after practices and he will likely spend a lot of time in the training room as the medical staff tries to keep the swelling and soreness to a minimum. We’ll continue to monitor his progress.
