Brady and the Bucs went on to win the Super Bowl, so what's the big deal about the knee injury? Well, the Buccaneers never listed Justice Hill Jersey Brady on the injury report with a knee problem. If he was dealing with the i sue that long and they didn't do anything about it, the NFL may have to step in and fine them Jaylon Ferguson Jersey for that.
The NFL has yet to speak on Brady's injury but there is precedent for this scenario. Tyus Bowser Jersey As outlined by , the NFL once fined the Jets for not disclosing Brett Favre's partially torn biceps tendon in 2008, and the quarterback himself was part of the reason that happened.
It happened because, as one league source explained it at the time, Favres Orlando Brown Jr. Jersey constant comments about the undisclosed injury upon joining the Vikings forced the league to act. If the injury report is to have any integrity in an age of proliferating legalized gambling, the NFL may have to do so the same thing here, given Bradys repeated admi sions that point to a failure to properly disclose Nico Siragusa Jersey the knee injury that he so obviously had.
The Buccaneers might want to ask Brady to stop discu sing the injury at the risk of getting fined by the NFL. Even Lamar Jackson Jersey still, the damage may have already been done.
Of course, the Bucs won't mind paying a bit of fine money for this. After all, they are fresh off a Super Bowl win and figure to be one of the best teams in the NFL again during the 2021 season, especially if Brady is Kenny Young Jersey healthier than he was in 2020.
So, what's a little lost pocket change for the team? Not much, so long as they don't err with their injury report again next season.
