Tom Brady Played 2020 Season With Torn MCL 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Thu Jul 15, 2021 8:09 pm

Tom Brady played the 2020 season with a partially torn MCL in his left knee, which was sustained during his final season with the New England Patriots.

Brady underwent surgery on his knee in February after winning the Super Bowl.

Brady also had an MCL sprain toward the end of the 2018 season with the Patriots. Brady never appeared on the injury report during the 2020 season.

...and then you have Tre Young who missed TWO conference final playoff games because he stepped on a ref.

We'll be finding about the different ways the Pats cheated for the next fifty years.

Well Tom Brady doesn't have to play defense. I'm sure Trae Young could still play offense injured. It's defense that you can't do, so he doesn't have the luxury.
