Severe ailment may linger through Super Bowl

The only agreement on Tom Brady’s mysterious hand injury is that the Patriots quarterback’s ailment could linger into Super Bown LII if the team advances — or it could prove to be a passing scare.

“It could be pretty significant. It’s his dominant hand,” said Philadelphia hand surgeon Pedro Beredjiklian, who warned he’s an Eagles fan. “If it’s a simple skin laceration, he’ll be fine. If he lacerated a tendon in his hand, it’s a big problem.”

If some reports are correct and Brady has a stitched-up cut on his paw, it could leave the hand vulnerable — and not just to the Jaguars defense tomorrow at Gillette.
