QUARTERBACKS
Tom Brady, NE – ACL and MCL Surgery
Patriots’ QB Tom Brady, who has been recovering from major knee surgery, took the field with teammates for the start of training camp on Thursday and he took part in passing drills without a problem. There were concerns in the off-season that his earlier setbacks would set him so far behind in his recovery that he would end up on the active PUP list to start training camp. But the good news is that he was a full participant on the first day. Brady did wear a brace on his surgically repaired left knee and according to reports not only will he have to wear it all season he may end up wearing it for the remainder of his career. We will continue to track his progress in training camp but he’s off to a good start.
Carson Palmer, CIN – Torn Ulna Collateral Ligament
Bengals’ QB reported to training camp on Thursday and he told members of the media that his elbow was “now 100 percent healthy” and team officials expect him to take part in all drills and practices. Palmer spent most of the 2008 season on the sideline nursing what the team called a torn ulna collateral ligament in his elbow. There were reports that the ligament had completely torn away from the bone and injuries of this kind typically require surgery to fix. However Palmer said that his elbow healed on its own and after spending most of July throwing the football he appears ready for training camp. Palmer did say that his elbow was still not as strong as he would like it to be a few weeks ago, but he is now saying that he is back to full strength.
