Tampa Bay Buccanneers quarterback Tom Brady insisted during an interview on Thursday that the ring finger on his throwing hand is fine after experiencing discomfort. Brady revealed on his “Let’s Go!” podcast that he injured his ring finger during the Buccanneers’ resounding 20-10 win over the New Orleans Saints last week.
While the veteran admitted that he downplayed the injury’s severity at first, he insisted that he is recovering well and stated “I feel great” when asked by reporters, going on to declare that “It’s football season.” Brady was not listed as one of the 12 players featured on Tampa Bay’s injury report for the week.
According to reporters who observed Brady in training, the player seemed to be experiencing discomfort during Thursday’s training session. Still, Brady explained that injuries such as this are part of the game.
“I banged it up pretty good, but it didn’t affect me at all in the game. Just going to be sore throughout the week. But one of those bumps and bruises that comes along with playing.” Brady confirmed that those players who are able to recover fast from injuries and get back on the field are the ones that come out on top, signaling his own determination to make a swift recovery.
