He was limited Wednesday Rashaan Evans Jersey , sat out Thursday and was limited again Friday because of the injury.Brady has never missed a playoff start during his 18-year career and is expected to be under center as the Patriots try for their third Super Bowl trip in four years. The quarterback said only, “We’ll see,” on Friday when asked if he would play.“Sometimes freak accidents happen,” Patriots owner Robert Kraft said during an interview with NFL Network on Sunday.“Thank goodness it wasn’t as severe as we thought it could be.

He didn’t appear to be hampered as he zipped passes during warmups.Brady’s hand has been the most-scrutinized body part of Boston athletes since the quarterback’s right ankle before the 2008 Super Bowl Authentic Kemoko Turay Jersey , and Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling’s right ankle tendon 鈥?the bloody sock 鈥?in the 2004 playoffs. As they wait for Joe Thomas’ decision, the Cleveland Browns added some offensive line depth.
The team reached agreement on Tuesday with former Pittsburgh tackle Chris Hubbard on a five-year contract, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press. Hubbard, who spent the past four seasons with the Steelers, will sign with the Browns once the free agency signing period begins Wednesday http://www.seahawksauthorizedshops.com/authentic-rasheem-green-jersey , according to the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because teams are not permitted to finalize deals during the NFL’s ”legal tampering” period.
Terms of the deal were not immediately known.
In Cleveland, the 26-year-old Hubbard will be reunited with former Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley, who was hired by the Browns during the offseason.
Hubbard made 14 starts the past two seasons. The 6-foot-4, 295-pounder is primarily a right tackle, but he gives Cleveland flexibility up front and more options in case Thomas retires. A 10-time Pro Bowler Edwin Diaz Seattle Mariners Jersey , Thomas, who suffered a season-ending torn triceps in 2017, has not yet announced if he’ll be back next season or end his Hall of Fame career.
Hubbard was signed by the Steelers as an undrafted free agent from Alabama-Birmingham in 2013. He started four games in 2016 and 10 in 2017.
Shon Coleman, a third-round draft pick in 2016, started all 16 for Cleveland last season. If Thomas retires Authentic Danny Shelton Jersey , it’s possible the Browns could switch Coleman to the left side or perhaps sign another free agent.
