"Tom Brady aggravated an existing shoulder sprain in the third quarter of Sunday's Super Bowl loss to the New York Giants, but the Patriots quarterback did not suffer a major injury.

Brady was part of a scary scene, as a sack by Giants defensive end Justin Tuck left him ailing. He stayed down on the field, then retreated to the bench where doctors and trainers checked out his left shoulder. Backup Brian Hoyer began to warm up on the sideline before it became clear Brady would continue.

Still, Brady finished the game connecting on only seven of his last 17 pass attempts, displaying uncharacteristic inaccuracy on several throws. One had to wonder how much he was hurting."
