During his weekly radio appearance on WEEI today — before the photos and video emerged — Tom responded to whether his foot was injured with:

“Ah, you know, there’s always bumps and bruises. I’ll be ready for the Super Bowl. 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.”

Personally, I thought Tom looked kind of out of it in Sunday’s AFC Championship game against the Chargers. I mean, I know he threw three INTs, but I couldn’t tell if he was not feeling well or what the problem was. When he wasn’t on the field, he was usually sitting on the bench with his head down.

Anyway, I think this whole thing is being blown out of proportion. I’m pretty sure he’s fine. Whatever the ailment, I would tend to believe the cast was just a precautionary measure and he’ll get whatever it is taken care of before Super Bowl XLII on February 3. The Patriots had no official comment on the injury or the photos.
