Tom Brady was seen grabbing his ring after each toss in pre-game warm-ups.
ESPN’s Michael Smith said that the finger was “definitely an issue.”
Earlier in the week it was reported that the injury was a non-issue. And truthfully, it might not be.
As of this writing Brady is 3/3 for 65 yards and a touchdown—including a big 58 yard bomb to Randy Moss that went to pay dirt.
Update: After the opening drive, Brady jogged off the field and into the locker room. He did return the game and led the Patriots on another scoring drive that was capped off by a six-yard touchdown run from Kevin Faulk.
