Tom Brady reportedly “jammed” his right (throwing) hand in practice on Wednesday when he was accidentally struck it during a handoff. Unnamed sources say that he had x-rays that revealed “no structural damage,” and some that he had a “cut.” He was limited in practice Wednesday (presumably after the injury) and did not practice today — the first time all season he has not practiced on a Thursday. He was seen on the practice field stretching at the beginning of practice wearing gloves on both hands, but reporters were dismissed before the quarterbacks began to throw.
That is all that we know.
