Report: Pats' Brady well behind in schedule for return

---

ESPN.com news services

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has fallen behind in his recovery efforts from knee surgery and could risk missing next season if a second operation is needed, NBCSports.com has reported. Brady, who underwent surgery on Oct. 6 after tearing the ACL and MCL ligaments in his left knee in the first quarter of the season's first game, had subsequent operations on the knee after it became infected. That infection resulted in a buildup of scar tissue, which may require surgery on the knee, the Web site reported, citing an anonymous NFL source. The scar tissue has also affected Brady's ability to fully begin rehabilitating his leg, the report said, and the repaired ligaments remain loose. Another surgery could also be needed for that condition, the Web site reported. Backup quarterback Matt Cassel replaced Brady as the starter and has helped lead the Patriots (10-5) to the verge of a playoff berth.

True.

If he fell behind in his rehab, is that Brady's fault for being lazy or is that his body simply not responding to the treatment like the doctors had hoped?

 

[jpzx]

Brady doesn't seem like the type that would be lazy with his rehab...his knee's probably not responding like it should

I don't know but he didn't participate in the voluntary offseason workouts for the first time this year. Eff you Gisele!

 

[eagle 0n]

Even if Brady was set to return next season, I still think the Pats should re-sign Matt Cassel.

 

[nyrapisback]

NFL misses Brady like @+@$.

 

[illfrozn]

I doubt Brady was being lazy -- didn't he suffer from staph infection after the surgery? That slowed him down already, so I imagine that is still affectinghim ...

 

[fraij da 5 11]

I cant stand Tom Brady but i wouldnt wish this type of injury on the guy...



I hope he comes back and sucks big #+$%

 

[DeadsetAce]

yeah the infection and resulting scar tissue has hindered his rehab

 

[651akathepaul]

Eff you Gisele!



I'm sure he's doing plenty of that.

Lucky Lucky Man.

That's what I'm thinking.

 

[mike rocks nikes]

i hate the pats as much as the next gut but

 

[kiddin like jason]

Now that I think about it, the Pats would probably franchise Cassel, if anything.

 

[bjm5295]

Is this Brady-Bledsoe II in the making?

And is Gisele Brady's Jessica Simpson?

Lions/Niners fans are crying in their soup right now.

 

[23mcpizzle23]

damn....

 

[c money 88 05]

[Chris Berman] Nobody want's to see Tom Brady miss another season [/Chris Berman]

I really don't wanna see anybody down for an extended period like that, even Peyton Manning, it's just not the same. I hope he ends up ok for nextseason and this is a "worst case scenario if something goes wrong possibility"

 

[ravagebx]

Damn that would be pretty wack if he misses another season.

I don't know, I hate to make accusations without warrant but this seems like something that a professional like Brady and an NFL medical staff should havebeen able to prevent or at least work around .

I really hope he doesn't have to have another surgery, that would completely destroy their time table for getting him back. I don't understand how thebuild up of scar tissue would get THAT out of control though. Even if his body didn't respond well, it makes no sense. Due to genetics i developed a keloidon my knee and I was able to cope and keep the development of scar tissue under control when i had the same surgery. These guys have the best when it comes totraining staffs and rehabilitation.

 

[enlightened thought]

he should come back and win a few more superbowls.

That's one of the issues, the Patriots are pissed because Brady got the surgery done by a doctor in California who was recommended by Brady's familyinstead of getting the surgery done in Boston by the doctors the Patriots wanted him to go to.

That infection he had was worse than expected.....
