File Under: Brady, injury, Jets Patriots, reportsTom, BradyRandy, MossKyle
09/06 — The Jets' and Patriots' injury reports were just released, and for the Jets, it's status quo. All 10 players listed as injured on Wednesday remain listed today, with the same five who were limited practice participants Wednesday still limited in today's session — RB Thomas Jones, CBs Andre Dyson and Justin Miller, G Brandon Moore and S Eric Smith.
The intrigue is on the Patriots' report. Three interesting changes showed up in bold on today's report.
QB Tom Brady, who began the week with a listing similar to the one he had the previous two seasons — right shoulder, full participation — was "downgraded," if that's what it can be called under the new guidelines, to limited participation today.
Then there are the listings for WR Randy Moss and TE Kyle Brady, the one-time Jet. Both were not listed on the Patriots' Wednesday report. Today they are both listed not with a specified injury but with the comment "Team Decision."
What does it all mean? I haven't seen any spin out of the Patriots media yet, but there will be.

Brady has apparently had this "shoulder" injury since 2002 and he's probably been on the injury lists for 4 years now knowing how Belichick operates. I don't buy it and neither do the Jets.. So let Beli tweak his injury report all he wants The Jets will be ready"

Brady will be in full swing with Moss, Welker and possibly Stallworth at his disposal. Their passing game is going to be on fire! But I'm convinced we can handle it!"

I want the Jets to beat them with all their players. Can't believe most of the radio media and how they think the Jets will struggle all year. I for one don't buy it."
