Tom Curran of NBC Sports reports that Jets players were saying in the locker room after their win over the Dolphins Sunday that they heard Brady tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.

“Everybody I talked to said it’s a torn ACL,” said one Jets player. “Players AND coaches. When we came in here that’s what people were saying, ‘Brady’s got a torn ACL.’ ”

Of course this is all speculation, so Patriots fans shouldn’t flip out yet. It doesn’t seem logical that the Jets players would be the ones who know the latest news.

Brady suffered the injury to his left knee during the first quarter when he was hit by Kansas City safety Bernard Pollard.

Patriots coach Bill Belichick only said in his post game comments, “I don’t have any update on Tom. They’re looking at him, doing some tests on him. I don’t have any information yet. Not that anybody would be interested in that.”

Thanks for the (lack of) info, Bill!

Stay tuned for more updates as we hear anything!
