Patriots injury blow as Brady to miss rest of season

NEW ENGLAND Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is expected to miss the rest of the 2008 season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, according to a source familiar with the injury.

While New England coach Bill Belichick said in his post-game press conference after the clash with the Kansas City Chiefs that he had no update on the status of Brady’s injury, two sources indicated it involved serious damage to the knee.

“It’s bad”, a team source said. “We’re going to have to play without him.”
