Tom Brady Injury Report: 45-Year-Old QB Goes Off on ‘Pretty Messed Up Right Hand’ After Packers Loss and Delves Into ‘Protruding Ribs’ & Subsequent Injuries That Slowed Him Down

NFL titan Tom Brady has faced several injury threats in his 23-year-old long career. In a recent podcast, he shed light on how he copes with each blow and gets ready for the next game with passion. The 45-year-old also spoke about his finger injury in the ‘Let’s Go! With Tom Brady, Larry Fitzgerald, and Jim Gray’ podcast show. 

He said the injury did not affect him in his practice. “It didn’t affect at all and it’s still a lot better than last week. It’s a pretty good swollen finger, but this is part of the game. I think there are a lot of bumps and bruises for guys across the league. If it was my left finger, it would have been totally insignificant. It was my right finger. So I had to deal with it,” the future HOF-er said. 

Tom Brady and the success story of injury management

In a free-wheeling chat, TB12 admitted his right hand has become messed up over the years with continuous injuries. “But in the end, it did nothing. I practiced all week. I took every weapon practice. Didn’t bother me at all in the game. I think this entire right hand is pretty messed up over the years. Broken fingers, twin ligaments multiple times, sliced my hand open, all on the football field. It definitely won’t be a hand model in my next life,” the legend added.

Talking about injury management, the star footballer revealed he remembers each injury he had dealt with in his career. “Yeah, because we have got a little icon collection. Over time, we collect those things. You know I have got ribs protruded, permanent scars from permanent injuries. So they just tell a story like all of us. I remember each of them. I remember how it happened when it happened, how I dealt with it, and it’s just kind of part of making up our lives. I listed them all my career, and it’s a pretty long list,” said Brady. 

What keeps the legend going despite setbacks?

Tom Brady added the pleasure of playing the sport can hide all the pain. “It’s like all of us are athletes and it’s what you go through. You’ve to pay for the joy you get when you are out in the field. I think the joy of winning foresees any of it,” the legend concluded.
