Another Setback for Tom Brady?

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady acknowledged through his Web site that he had an arthroscopic procedure done to “clean and to test the wound” in his injured left knee last week. But there have been two additional procedures performed since that time, with the same goal in mind. Apparently, the patellar tendon graft used to replace Tom’s ACL is in danger of becoming compromised. Should that occur, the entire reconstruction would have to be removed and redone from scratch. Tom doesn’t want that. The Patriots don’t want that. And NFL fans don’t want that. Either there are still signs of infection in Tom’s knee or Tom’s doctor is being overly cautious with this fix. But things aren’t exactly going as well as Tom wants us to believe and until they are, his true rehab can’t really even begin.
