Just got out here, and was surprised to not find an injury report
about the QB of our opponent next week. Might as well get the ball
rolling.

BTW, call me crazy, but I don't think Bernard Pollard will be looked
up by Pat fans as the next Mo Lewis.

Sources: Brady out with ACL tear

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is expected to miss the
rest of the 2008 season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his
left knee, according to a source familiar with the injury.

While New England coach Bill Belichick said in his postgame press
conference that he had no update on the status of Brady’s injury, two
sources indicated it involved serious damage to the knee.

“It’s bad,” a team source said. “We’re going to have to play without
him.”

Brady was hurt as he stepped up in the pocket to make a throw to
wideout Randy Moss. Chiefs safety Bernard Pollard, who was on the
ground, lunged forward and struck Brady’s leg, which buckled as he
released the ball.

Brady was helped off the field and was later led down a staircase by
team officials, presumably to undergo tests.

Fourth-year quarterback Matt Cassel, who had thrown just 39 passes in
his career before Sunday, replaced Brady and completed 13 of 18 passes
for 152 yards and a touchdown. Cassel, who backed up Carson Palmer and
Matt Leinart at USC, hasn’t been a starting quarterback since high
school. He won a competition with Matt Gutierrez during the preseason
to retain the job as Brady’s primary backup
