Brady still mum on his status
Tom Brady is staying mum on his status for the AFC championship game after suffering a right hand injury earlier in the week.
Brady said a bit contentiously only “We’ll see” on Friday when asked whether he would play in Sunday’s conference title game against Jacksonville.
The quarterback wore red gloves and responded to several other questions about how much he practiced or how he sustained the injury by saying “I’m not talking about that.”
Brady is listed as questionable for Sunday after being a limited participant in practice Friday. He was also limited on Wednesday. He sat out practice Thursday, but wore a glove on his injured hand during the stretching period open to reporters. He usually only wears a glove on his non-throwing hand.
Brady appeared on the Patriots’ weekly injury report several times during the latter half of this season with injuries to both his Achilles tendon and his left shoulder. The four-time Super Bowl MVP has never missed a playoff start during his 18-year career. THIELEN, SENDEJO ‘QUESTIONABLE’ >> Minnesota Vikings starters WR Adam Thielen (lower back) and S Andrew Sendejo (concussion) are both listed as questionable for Sunday’s NFC championship game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
RAIDERS, REBS TO SHARE >> Nevada’s Board of Regents has approved a joint-use agreement that will allow the UNLV football team to use the $1.9 billion stadium planned for the Oakland Raiders when the NFL team moves to Las Vegas in 2020. The board approved the measure Friday on an 11-1 vote.
ALL THE WAY BACK >> Keenan Allen always had the ability. This past season, he finally played enough games to prove it.
The Chargers’ former thirdround pick out of Cal broke out as an elite receiver in 2017, setting career highs with 1,393 receiving yards and a franchise-record 102 catches. On Friday, the Pro Football Writers of America named Allen their NFL Comeback Player of the Year — recognizing his triumphant return following nearly two seasons lost to injuries.
He had 797 receiving yards during the Chargers’ 6-1 stretch to end the season. TITANS BEGIN PROCESS >> The Tennessee Titans have interviewed three candidates in their search for new coach and none have had any NFL head coaching experience. Los Angeles Rams offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur was the third to interview for the job. JETS WR ANDERSON IN TROUBLE >> New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson faces a slew of charges in Florida, including threatening a police officer’s family and saying he would rape the officer’s wife.
A Sunrise police report shows the 24-year-old Anderson was stopped early Friday in a sport utility vehicle after it ran two red lights and was swerving while traveling about 105 mph.
After he was stopped, police say he made the threats and then boasted about how much money he has. Jail records show Anderson faces nine charges, including threatening harm to a public servant, resisting arrest and traffic violations.
