Tom Brady is seen wearing a walking cast while in New York on Monday.
The New England Patriots have sauntered through the rest of the league this year. But on the verge of perfection, their leader has come up gimpy.
Photographs and video show Tom Brady wearing what appears to be a walking cast while in New York on Monday. A video of Brady in the cast is available on TMZ.com.
The Boston Herald reported that Brady -- flowers in hand -- was visiting the apartment of his girlfriend, Gisele Bundchen.
During his weekly radio show on WEEI, Brady did not deny that he suffered some sort of injury during Sunday's win over the San Diego Chargers in the AFC Championship Game.
"Ah, you know, there's always bumps and bruises. I'll be ready for the Super Bowl," Brady said. "I'm not worried about that. I'm not missing this one. I'd have to be on a stretcher to miss this one. There will be treatment this week. In games like this, you get a little nicked up. It's nothing serious."
Patriots spokesman Stacey James wrote in an e-mail to the AP late Monday night that the team had no comment on the photos.
Brady, who threw 50 touchdown passes and only eight interceptions during the regular season, was not at his best on Sunday. He threw three interceptions in the 21-12 victory over the Chargers.
He now has two weeks to recover. The Patriots' Super Bowl matchup against the New York Giants is Feb. 3.
