Tom Brady Limited at Patriots Practice Wednesday With Apparent Calf Injury
By Karl Rasmussen
A surprising name popped up on the New England Patriots' injury report following Wednesday's practice.
It was reported that Tom Brady was a limited participant on Wednesday, as the 42-year-old is dealing with a calf injury, proving that even ageless GOATs can run up against early ailments.

Brady certainly showed no sign of injury during the Pats' beatdown of the Dolphins in Week 2, throwing for 264 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
The Patriots are likely just exercising caution with their veteran gunslinger, and we're unlikely to see a battle of the backups between Luke Falk and Jarrett Stidham in Week 3 against the Jets.
Tom Brady just walked through the locker room. I am not a doctor but he seemed fine and did not limp. #NotADoctor

Thursday's practice could be telling as to the status of Brady for Week 3, but it's certainly a new development that he's dealing with a calf injury, however minor it may be.
