Tom Brady mysteriosly popped up on yesterday's Injury Report........with a status of QUESTIONABLE. However, reports are that he is expected to play. Although not officially reported, I have found out that he is actually dealing with "elbow tendonitis"..............a problem that he has quietly been dealing with off and on for a very long time...........since 2006 This recurrent problem would have not probably come to light if his personal trainer was not believed to have cure his problem. An adequate period of rest from throwing is necessary to improve the condition. Depending on the chronicity and extent of the condition, rest is usually measured in terms of weeks not days. Brady and his trainer had the benefit of the less "strenuous" non game-driven offseason/OTA period to address his issue. He does not have that luxury now, and his age is not working for him.

Men's Health feature on Tom Brady details severe elbow tendinitis that limited Brady in '06

On Tuesday, Men's Health released a series of articles that featured New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, who spoke
about fitness, diet, family and football.
One article written by Ben court went into detail about Brady's personal trainer, Alex Guerrero and how Brady first got turned onto Guerrero and his use of traditional Chinese medicine. Brady's explanation not only answered the question but also highlighted an injury back in 2006 that we were not all aware of.
Brady then mentioned how a decade of various pain seemed to have vanished once Guerrero began to work on him.
This is telling. Aside from his torn ACL in 2008 and a knee injury in 2018, there hasn't been very many known severe injuries for the 42-year-old QB over the course of his career. Elbow tendinitis is a troubling ailment for someone who is throwing a football 30-40 times a game, let alone any practices throughout the week.
