If you’re like me, you’re one of those people that gets annoyed by Bill Belichick always putting Tom Brady as “probable” each week and listing that he has a shoulder injury. It’s annoying because a.) just tell us the truth and b.) he’s on my fantasy team, and I’m just waiting for the guy to be really injured.

Well, Brady’s shoulder is feeling fine, but he hasn’t played in the preseason yet. And the reason? A foot injury. Maybe one similar to last year during the playoffs.

Asked if he would have played had the game been during the regular season, Belichick said Sunday night, “Well, it’s not a regular-season game.”

When asked if he would characterize Brady’s absence as precautionary, he said, “I wouldn’t characterize it.”

Thankfully, Bill Belichick cleared up all the confusion and shed some light on the injury. I hope that dick goes 18-0 again and loses to an Eli Manning type.
