Tom Brady misses preseason game after cutting thumb with scissors
Tom Brady missed Thursday’s preseason game between the New England Patriots and Chicago Bears after cutting his thumb with scissors.
Brady was not seen on the field prior to the game and was spotted leaving the stadium prior to the game. Comcast New England’s Tom E. Curran reported that Brady had left because he cut his thumb with scissors trying to pry something loose from his cleats.
Brady is suspended the first four games of the season for his role in the Deflategate scandal. Jimmy Garoppolo is expected to be the team’s starting quarterback during that span, with Jacoby Brissett next up on the team’s depth chart.
It sounds like Brady will be fine.
Tom Brady's agent, Don Yee, on report Brady cut his thumb w/scissors before game: "An accident occurred and Tom will be okay in time."
