Quiet afternoon in win
Brady completed 26 of 47 passes for 216 yards in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: On a windy day in Philly, the Patriots didn't attempt to attack downfield much and relied on a dink-and-dunk passing game that resulted in a YPA of 4.6 for Brady, and Julian Edelman ended up throwing the team's only TD on a bit of trickery in the red zone. The 42-year-old quarterback is on pace to throw fewer than 25 touchdowns in a full season for the first time since 2006, but with the Pats still racking up wins, don't expect the game plan to change much. That said, Brady will get to face a…read more

Solid results in loss
Brady (shoulder) completed 30 of 46 pass attempts for 285 yards, a touchdown and an interception in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Lamar Jackson and the Ravens' unconventional offense exposed what was the league's best defense Sunday, forcing Brady to play from behind and attempt a season-high 46 passes. The 42-year-old wonder wasn't able to connect down the field with much success (6.2 yards per attempt), but the volume led to 285 passing yards, his best mark since Week 6. The team may need to rely on Brady's arm following the upcoming bye week, as a four-game stretch against high-powered offenses will take place,…read more

Good to go this week
Brady (right shoulder) has been removed from the Patriots' Week 9 injury report after practicing fully Thursday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Brady was listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday, but any sliver of doubt regarding his status for Sunday night's game against the Ravens can now be discarded. The Patriots have reeled off eight straight wins to start the season, but a tough test awaits this weekend on the road against a 5-2 Ravens team that has won three straight and is fresh off its bye week.

Listed as limited Wednesday
Brady was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a right shoulder issue, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The veteran quarterback is likely just receiving some maintenance at the midway point of the season, as there's little to suggest that he's in serious peril of sitting out Sunday against the Ravens.

Solid numbers in win
Brady completed 20 of 36 passes for 259 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Browns.
Analysis: The 42-year-old found his favorite target, Julian Edelman, for both scores, and he avoided throwing an INT for the first time since Week 3. Through eight games, Brady is on pace for only 26 TDs, which would be his lowest total since 2013, but he is still headed for his 11th career 4,000-yard campaign. He'll get arguably his toughest test of the year in Week 9 when he leads the unbeaten Patriots into Baltimore.

Tosses touchdown in win
Brady completed 31 of 45 passes for 249 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Monday night's 33-0 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Brady routinely carved the Jets apart underneath early on, setting the stage for his 26-yard touchdown over the top to Phillip Dorsett to end the first quarter. With the Patriots leading 24-0 shortly thereafter, Brady was mostly asked to manage the game from then on. Although he'll be disappointed that his lone interception came after being hit while throwing -- now giving him four straight games with a pick -- it was otherwise an easygoing outing for the 42-year-old, who was not sacked Monday.…read more

Pair of rushing TDs in win
Brady completed 31 of 41 passes for 334 yards with no touchdowns and one interception in the Patriots' 35-14 win over the Giants on Thursday. He also rushed seven times for six yards and a pair of scores and committed two fumbles, losing one.
Analysis: It was notably more difficult than the final score would imply, but Brady helped the Patriots to a typically robust margin of victory by the final gun. He did his part by notching multiple rushing touchdowns in a game for the first time since Week 16 of the 2011 season, going in on a pair of one-yard sneaks in the third and fourth quarters. The future Hall of Famer did go without a touchdown pass for the second time in the last three games, but he's now generated four 300-yard efforts in his…read more

Piles on against lowly Redskins
Brady completed 28 of 42 passes for 348 yards, three touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 33-7 win over Washington.
Analysis: Brady topped 300 yards for the third time in five games while tossing multiple scores for the fourth time. He threw a red-zone interception for a second straight week in the second quarter, but that was overshadowed by his three touchdowns: a six-yarder to Julian Edleman in the first quarter, a 29-yarder to Brandon Bolden in the third and a 10-yarder to Ryan Izzo in the fourth. New England's excellent preparation should have Brady ready to roll despite a short turnaround Thursday against the…read more

Carried by defense in Week 4 win
Brady completed 18 of 39 passes for 150 yards and an interception in Sunday's 16-10 win over Buffalo.
Analysis: Brady was flummoxed by Buffalo's defense but got bailed out by his own defense and special teams, which notched four interceptions and scored a touchdown on a blocked punt. He was intercepted in the end zone from the two-yard line in the second quarter. After struggling against one of the league's toughest secondaries, Brady gets a marvelous bounce-back opportunity in Week 5 against a dreadful Redskins unit.

Good to go this week
Brady (calf) has been removed from the Patriots' Week 4 injury report.
Analysis: Brady (calf) was limited at Wednesday's practice, but there was never any danger of him missing Sunday's road game against the 3-0 Bills. Three games into the season, Brady is off to a nice start, averaging 303.7 passing yards per game to go along with a tidy 7:0 TD:INT ratio.

Logs limited practice Wednesday
Brady (calf) was limited at Wednesday's practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Tops 300 yards in comfortable win
Brady completed 28 of 42 passes for 306 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 30-14 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Brady threw a 25-yard touchdown to Phillip Dorsett in the first quarter and added a three-yard touchdown to Julian Edelman -- who later left the game with a chest injury -- in the second quarter. The quarterback was removed from the game with his team leading 30-7 in the fourth quarter but had to be reinserted after rookie Jarrett Stidham promptly threw a pick-six. A lack of weapons would become a bit of a concern if Edelman needs to miss additional time in the wake of Antonio Brown's release,…read more

Off the injury report
Brady (calf) has been removed from the Patriots' Week 3 injury report.
Analysis: Brady was limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday, but there was never really any doubt that he'd play Sunday against the Jets. Though the Patriots have moved on from Antonio Brown, Brady -- who has looked sharp out of the gate this season -- still has the likes of Julian Edelman, Josh Gordon, Phillip Dorsett and James White (all capable pass catchers) to throw to. One concern for the veteran QB heading into the weekend, however, is the state of the team's banged-up offensive line.

Brady (calf) remained limited at practice Thursday, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
Analysis: That said, Phil Perry of NBC Sports Boston noted that Brady appeared to be moving without issue at the start of Thursday's practice. At this stage, however, there's little to no doubt that Brady will play Sunday against the Jets, with the main question here being whether or not the QB approaches the weekend minus an official injury designation.

Brady (calf) was limited at practice Wednesday.
Analysis: In a week filled with high-profile QB injuries, Brady finds his name on the Patriots' initial injury report in advance of Sunday's game against the Jets. That said, there's been nothing to suggest that his status for the contest is in any danger. Through his first two games this season, Brady has recorded 605 passing yards to go along with a nifty 5:0 TD:INT ratio and one rushing score.

Three total TDs in blowout win
Brady completed 20 of 28 passes for 264 yards and two touchdowns while rushing twice for one yard and another score in Sunday's 43-0 win over Miami.
Analysis: Brady hit newest teammate Antonio Brown for a 20-yard touchdown late in the first half. He also got into the end zone himself on a one-yard quarterback sneak before adding a 10-yard touchdown to James White to complete the scoring. The veteran quarterback was efficient and spread the ball out with multiple completions to seven different targets, but he didn't need to do much with New England dominating a pathetic Dolphins team throughout.

Dices up Steelers' D
Brady completed 24 of 36 pass attempts for 341 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 33-3 win over the Steelers.
Analysis: Brady didn't need to shake off any "preseason rust" from minimal usage during the exhibition games that many signal callers appeared to have Week 1. The future Hall of Famer simply got to work and absolutely dissected a Pittsburgh secondary that had no answers for ageless wonder. Brady didn't even have the recently signed Antonio Brown at his disposal, but he will get to add the polarizing but undoubtedly talented wideout to the mix in a favorable matchup against the Dolphins next Sunday.

Plays against Panthers
Brady completed eight of 12 passes for 75 yards in Thursday night's 10-3 preseason win over the Panthers.
Analysis: Brady featured for three drives in his first and likely only preseason action. The storied signal-caller found a good connection with wideout Phillip Dorsett during his brief cameo, which culminated with New England scoring a one-yard rushing touchdown on Brady's final snap to cap an eight-plus-minute, 85-yard drive. With his exhibition involvement now presumably over, Brady will use the next couple weeks to get fully prepared for his 20th pro campaign, which kicks off against the Steelers on…read more

Hoping for preseason appearance
Brady wants to play in Thursday's preseason game against Carolina, but he isn't sure if he coach Bill Belichick will allow it, WEEI's Ryan Hannable reports.
Analysis: Belichick typically has given his starting quarterback a good chunk of work in the preseason, with Brady attempting at least 24 passes each of the last six years. He'll likely fall shy of that number this August, having already been held out for the first two weeks. It isn't clear when Brady will get his first chance to practice with wideout Josh Gordon, who was reinstated Friday from an indefinite suspension.

Not suiting up Saturday
Brady isn't expected to play in Saturday's preseason game in Tennessee, Jim McBride of The Boston Globe reports.
Analysis: For the second consecutive exhibition, Brady won't be available to the offense with an eye on an appearance in Thursday's contest against the Panthers. He won't get a chance to hook up with Julian Edelman (thumb) and the recently-reinstated Josh Gordon in that game, but Brady is slated to get in his typical minimal preseason run in the near future.

Could skip preseason opener
Brady spent most of Wednesday's walk-through practice on the sideline, which "could foreshadow that he won't play" in Thursday's preseason's opener against the Lions, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Brady has had an interesting week, which included a contract extension that in fact doesn't solidify his status with the Patriots beyond the 2019 season. Additionally, Jeff Darlington of ESPN.com relayed that Brady has placed his Brookline, Mass. home on the market. Though reading into the quarterback's real estate dealings may not bear fruit regarding his future outlook with the Patriots, there appears to be context building in which Brady will be plenty motivated this coming season even after…read more

Gets a raise for 2019
Though Brady's new deal ups his pay by $8 million this season, the QB "acknowledged how the deal doesn't tie him to the franchise beyond the 2019 season," Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports. "It's a unique situation I'm in -- 20th year with the same team, I'll be 42 years old. So pretty much uncharted territory for everybody," Brady noted Monday. "I'm going to go out there and do the best I can this year and see what happens."
Analysis: The report adds that while Brady's new contract can be technically viewed as a two-year extension through the 2021 campaign, it's notable that 2020 and 2021 are "void years." As a result, it's expected that the two sides will revisit terms in advance of the 2020 season. With that in mind, Reiss relays that the Patriots have agreed to not use their franchise tag on Brady. In any case, the signal-caller's new deal both gets him a raise this year and grants the franchise some extra salary-cap…read more

As reported by Rapoport, the deal with be worth $30 million for 2020 and $32 million for the following season.

Bulks up in offseason
Brady relayed Wednesday that he bulked up a bit in advance of training camp, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports. "I wanted to get a little bigger this year and put on a few more pounds and try to absorb the hits a little bit more," Brady noted. "I worked pretty hard at that."
Analysis: The quarterback, who is listed at 6-foot-4, 225 pounds, indicated that the strength he added this offseason has helped him in training camp thus far and hasn't come at the expense of his fluidity. Meanwhile, Brady -- who turns 42 years old this weekend -- continues to work at a high level, with no obvious signs of decline in his play. One thing he'll have to contend with this season is that he'll no longer have elite tight end Rob Gronkowski as a security blanket, but the team's offense still…read more

In his absence, added QB reps are available for Brian Hoyer, Danny Etling and rookie Jarrett Stidham.

Brady isn't expected to participate in voluntary team workouts this offseason, ESPN.com's Mike Reiss reports.
Analysis: Brady often attended the entire offseason program earlier in his career, but he waited for the start of mandatory minicamp (June 5) to report last year. The late start ultimately had no impact on his success, with the 41-year-old throwing for 4,355 yards and 29 touchdowns en route to the usual first-round bye and a sixth Super Bowl victory. Brady faces a challenge in 2019 with Rob Gronkowski retiring, as the quarterback had a 115.0 passer rating on throws to his star tight end the past five…read more

First player with six Super Bowl rings
Brady completed 21 of 35 passes for 262 yards with no touchdowns and one interception in the Patriots' 13-3 win over the Rams in Super Bowl LIII on Sunday. He also lost two yards on two rushes and fumbled once, but it was recovered by the offense.
Analysis: It won't go down as the most aesthetically pleasing of his many Super Bowl appearances by any stretch, but Brady, unsurprisingly, made key passes when it counted most. He struggled early in the game, getting intercepted on New England's first possession and then losing the ball on a sack later in the first quarter. That fumble was recovered by the offense, however, and Brady took care of the ball from that point forward. Then, he led scoring marches of five and nine plays in the fourth quarter,…read more

Brady said Sunday in an interview with ESPN reporter Jeff Darlington that he doesn't intend to retire after the Patriots' Super Bowl LIII matchup with the Rams.
Analysis: Brady will of course reserve the right to change his mind regardless of the outcome of his ninth Super Bowl appearance, but for the moment, the 41-year-old isn't thinking of ending his Hall of Fame career while he continues to play at a high level.

Passes for 348 yards
Brady completed 30 of 46 pass attempts for 348 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions during Sunday's 37-31 AFC Championship Game overtime win over the Chiefs.
Analysis: Brady completed 65 percent of his passes, but he was mainly limited to shorter gains and finished averaging 7.6 yards per attempt. He also threw a pair of inopportune interceptions, including one in the end zone on the second drive of the game.

Brady completed 34 of 44 passes for 343 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-28 divisional-round win over the Chargers.
Analysis: New England's offense was nearly unstoppable in the first half, as a combination of efficient dinking and dunking -- coupled with some Chargers penalties on third down -- led to five touchdowns on the home team's first six drives. Unfortunately for Brady's owners in playoff pools, four of those five scores came on the ground.

Brady, who had been managing a knee issue, benefited from the Patriots' bye week in advance of Sunday's divisional-round playoff contest against the Chargers, NFL.com reports.
Analysis: Per the report, Brady previously dealt with an MCL sprain for a few weeks, but he's healed now and healthy heading into Sunday's game. The 41-year-old QB finished up the 2018 regular season with 4,355 passing yards and a 29:11 TD:INT ratio. Having shed his knee concern, Brady is now looking to help the Patriots advance to the AFC Championship Game for the eighth consecutive time.

Tosses four TDs to secure bye
Brady completed 24 of 33 passes for 250 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday's 38-3 win over the Jets. He finishes the regular season with 4,355 yards and a 29:11 touchdown to interception ratio.
Analysis: Brady's team was in control throughout in a game they needed to win to secure a first-round bye. He comes up short of the 30-touchdown mark for just the third time in the past nine seasons, but fantasy owners who invested in Brady on draft day largely got what they were expecting from him. Owners in dynasty formats should start lining up alternatives for the 41-year-old, though, as Father Time could lend a critical blow at any moment.

"I have goals to not only play next year, but beyond that," Brady said in his weekly interview on Westwood One. "I'm going to try to do it as best I possibly can.

Analysis: Brady has been consistent about his desire to play well into his 40s and isn't going to change his mind after a rough couple of weeks. He downplayed the significance of a knee injury that landed him on the injury report Weeks 12 through 14, saying he isn't dealing with anything beyond the normal bumps and bruises that come standard with life in the NFL.

Dismisses talk of injury
Brady wouldn't confirm that he was dealing with an injury when asked Monday on the "Mut & Callahan" radio program on WEEI Boston if he was nursing a partially torn MCL in his knee, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports. "I'm not getting into specifics of any injuries," Brady said. "It just doesn't make any sense."
Analysis: After a dominant showing against the Dolphins in Week 14, Brady's performance has regressed over the past two contests, with the veteran signal-caller completing only 63.3 percent of his passes for 6.8 yards per attempt and a 2:3 TD:INT over that span. With New England establishing an early lead in Sunday's 24-12 win over the Bills, the team followed a run-heavy game plan, which contributed to Brady turning in season lows in completions, attempts and passing yardage. It's unclear if any…read more

Limited by Bills
Brady completed 13 of 24 passes for 126 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 24-12 win over Buffalo.
Analysis: Brady couldn't get much going against the stout Buffalo secondary, as he had just 73 yards and two interceptions on his first 18 throws before finding Julian Edelman for a 32-yard touchdown on fourth down with 5:05 left in the third quarter. With a first-round bye hanging in the balance, look for Brady to step up at home against the Jets in Week 17.

Comes up short late in loss
Brady completed 25 of 36 passes for 279 yards with a touchdown and an interception in the Patriots' 17-10 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.
Analysis: Although his final line was certainly solid save for his one interception, Brady couldn't put together one of his trademark late-game comebacks against a Steelers defense that stiffened when it mattered most. The future Hall of Famer gave up the ball on downs on the Patriots' final drive, throwing three straight incompletions -- a fourth was nullified by a New England penalty -- from Pittsburgh's 21-yard line. Prior to that series, Brady suffered an interception on an uncharacteristically…read more

Downplays knee issue
Brady has "zero concern" with regard to the knee issue that has had him listed on the Patriots' injury report at times over the last three weeks, NESN's Mike Cole reports.
Analysis: Brady briefly needed medical attention during Sunday's loss to the Dolphins, but he didn't miss a snap in the game and downplayed the issue afterward. "I think my knee brace just grabbed, and it dug in the wrong spot," the QB noted Monday. "There's no concern." Though the Patriots lost in improbable last-play fashion in Week 14, Brady did his part, throwing for a season-high 358 yards and tossing three TDs versus zero picks. He'll look to help his team get back on the winning track in this…read more

Throws for three touchdowns in loss
Brady completed 27 of 43 passes for 358 yards and three touchdowns during Sunday's 34-33 loss to the Dolphins.
Analysis: Brady broke out of his second-half slump in a big way Sunday, amassing a season-high output in passing yardage while compiling three touchdown passes for the first time since Oct. 21 (four touchdown passes over his previous five games combined entering Week 14). It's been a brutal stretch for those who invested an early-round selection in Brady, as he finished outside of the top 15 quarterbacks in standard scoring formats over each of his past five games entering Sunday, with an average finish…read more

Good to go this week
Brady (knee) has been removed from the Patriots' Week 14 injury report, Jim McBride of The Boston Globe reports.
Analysis: Brady is thus good to go for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. The veteran QB's overall stats aren't eye-popping; his 3,342 passing yards in 12 games are ninth in the league, but Brady -- who has logged a 20:8 TD:INT ratio in that span -- maintains a decent enough fantasy floor while helming a well-coached offense with a variety of capable pass-catching weapons.

Limited practice session Wednesday
Brady (knee) logged a limited practice Wednesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Brady is in no danger of missing Sunday's game against the Dolphins, and there's a decent chance that he won't carry an injury designation for that contest once the Patriots' final Week 14 injury report is released Friday.

Tops 300 passing yards
Brady completed 24 of 32 pass attempts for 311 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Sunday's 24-10 win over the Vikings.
Analysis: Brady completed 75 percent of his passes and connected with nine different receivers while averaging a healthy 9.3 yards per attempt. He threw a 24-yard touchdown pass to Josh Gordon to go ahead in the third quarter, but he nearly helped Minnesota back into the game by throwing an interception on the next drive. Brady could've enjoyed a better day, but the Patriots chose to hand off to James Develin for a pair of short touchdowns, rather than attack via the pass. The veteran now has just four…read more

Removed from injury report
Brady (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Vikings, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Tight end Dwayne Allen, who won't play due to a knee issue, is the only player listed on the Patriots' unusually light Week 13 injury report. The Patriots also removed Rob Gronkowski (back/ankle) from their report, which should provide a boon to Brady's fantasy outlook for the second straight week. While there's no doubt regarding Brady's status for Sunday's contest, the Vikings' rugged defense poses a less-than-ideal matchup for the veteran signal-caller.

Restricted in practice again
Brady (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Chad Graff of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Though Brady's practice reps were capped for the second day in a row, there doesn't appear to be any major concern about his availability for Sunday's game against the Vikings. That said, Brady may need to register a full practice Friday to avoid an injury designation heading into the weekend. The matchup with a Minnesota defense that shut down Aaron Rodgers and company a week earlier isn't a great one, though Brady's fantasy prospects would improve if the Vikings' top cornerback, Xavier Rhodes…read more

Logs limited session
Brady (knee) was listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday, Ben Volin of The Boston Globe reports.
Analysis: Brady was also limited at practice last week with the same issue in addition to an illness. He moved past both concerns to start and lead the Patriots to a 27-13 win over the Jets over the weekend. With no known setbacks in the contest, it's assumed that he'll be good to go for the Patriots' Week 13 game against the Vikings.

Tops 3,000 yards again
Brady (knee/illness) completed 20 of 31 passes for 283 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Brady benefited from the return of Rob Gronkowski (back/ankle). He hit the tight end for a 34-yard touchdown in the first quarter and added a 21-yard score to Julian Edelman in the third. With this effort, Brady topped 3,000 passing yards for the 16th time in the past 17 seasons. He will bring a 19:7 touchdown to interception ratio into New England's Week 13 home meeting with the Vikings.

Active Sunday
Brady (knee/illness) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Jets.
Analysis: The last time Brady missed a regular-season start due to injury was back in 2008, when he tore his ACL in Week 1. It's therefore no surprise to see him out there Sunday despite being limited at practice this past week with a knee issue and then skipping Friday's session due to an illness. He'll take aim at a Jets squad that has dropped four straight games, including a 41-10 loss to the Bills in Week 10. Helping Brady's cause is that the Patriots' Week 11 bye afforded the team's coaching staff…read more

Preparing to play Week 12
Brady (knee/illness), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, is set to play in the contest, Mike Giardi of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The report notes that the knee issue that limited Brady's participation in Thursday's practice and the illness that kept him out for Friday's session were never considered major concerns, with the Patriots opting to restrict his workload mainly for precautionary purposes. Neither the knee nor the illness should impact Brady's fantasy outlook for Week 12, as he'll project as a quality starting option against a so-so Jets pass defense while getting one of his top weapons back in tight end Rob…read more

Questionable, expected to play
Brady, who had been limited in practice earlier this week due to a knee issue, missed Friday's session due to an illness, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The QB is officially listed as questionable for Week 12's game against the Jets, but he's expected to play this weekend, with that likely outcome set to be confirmed in advance of the first wave of kickoffs Sunday since the Patriots' road tilt is slated to kick off at 1:00 ET.

Not spotted at practice
Brady (knee) was not spotted at the media-access portion of Friday's practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Previous reports suggested that Brady was in no danger of missing Sunday's game against the Jets, but this wrinkle makes his status worth monitoring closely leading up to that contest. With Brady not out there at the start of practice Friday, Brian Hoyer and Danny Etling were the only QBs on the field for the Patriots.

Listed as limited again
Brady (knee) was listed as limited on Thursday's estimated practice report, Jim McBride of The Boston Globe reports.
Analysis: The team didn't actually take the field Thursday, so how Brady looks at practice Friday will be telling. So far there's nothing to suggest that he's in any danger of missing Sunday's game against the Jets, though it's possible that Brady could approach that contest with an official "questionable" injury designation.

Knee not major concern
Brady, who was limited at practice Wednesday with a knee issue, "should be fine going forward," Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Meanwhile, Michael Giardi of NFL Network echoes the notion that Brady's Week 12 availability is not in danger. That said, given the Patriots' injury-reporting tendencies, it's quite possible that the QB -- who appeared to tweak his knee during Week 10's loss to the Titans -- ends up being officially listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Jets.

Brady was listed as limited at practice Wednesday with a knee issue.
Analysis: As Kevin Duffy of the Boston Herald points out, Brady "took some shots against the Titans" in Week 10, but so far there's nothing to suggest that the quarterback's status for Sunday's game against the Jets is in any danger. Coming off their Week 11 bye, the Patriots continue to roster just two signal-callers, Brady and Brian Hoyer.

No touchdowns in Week 10 loss
Brady completed 21 of 41 passes for 254 yards without a touchdown or turnover while rushing once for no gain and catching a six-yard pass in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Titans.
Analysis: Brady's club got down early and never recovered. He looked like a newborn deer on his six-yard catch from Julian Edelman in the fourth quarter, stumbling over his own feet to come up just short on 3rd-and-7. A turnover on downs on the next play was the dagger, as Tennessee took over leading 27-10 with under 11 minutes remaining. New England waved the white flag after the Titans scored a touchdown on the ensuing possession, pulling Brady in favor of Brian Hoyer for the remainder of the contest.…read more

Throws for 294 yards
Brady completed 22 of 35 pass attempts for 294 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-17 win over the Packers.
Analysis: The Packers' pass rush and secondary did a good job of limiting Brady's production in the first half, but the all-time quarterback was eventually able to break through in the second half. The 41-year-old put an exclamation point on the victory with a 55-yard touchdown to Josh Gordon in the fourth quarter. With that sole passing score, Brady has now thrown for one or fewer scores in three of the last four outings. This has been the result of a run-heavy offensive game plan in the red zone, but…read more
