Phil Mickelson Hilariously Offers to Fly to Boston to Help Tom Brady Nurse Calf Injury
By Jerry Trotta
The New England Patriots injury report on Wednesday featured a bit of a shocking inclusion, revealing that Tom Brady was limited in practice with a calf injury.
It's largely expected that Bill Belichick and Co. are just monitoring the reps of their veteran gunslinger, as TB12 was virtually unstoppable on Sunday against the Dolphins.
Regardless, a report that mentions Brady and injury in the same sentence is bound to send shockwaves throughout the Foxborough Faithful. And it just so happens that golfing legend Phil Mickelson was no stranger to that feeling as the left-hander took to Twitter in hilarious fashion to announce his intentions to nurse Brady back to full health.
I’m on standby for a flight to Boston. Let’s not let inadequate calves hold us back. ? https://t.co/MQ6IkVNOBo

If we're being honest, the 44-time PGA Tour winner is the one professional athlete out there that Pats fans should want providing assistance to Brady. After all, Mickelson knows a thing or two about healthy calves.
NFL insider Ian Rapoport even joined in on the fun by replying to Phil's post to reassure the vet golfer and wish him best wishes on his flight to Boston.
FYI: It’s a minor calf injury and I hope you get a seat on your flight ✈️ ?

Mickelson better have some clever advice up his sleeve, because, as we know, the six-time Super Bowl champ takes his health as serious as any athlete in all of sports.
