MORE: Fantasy QB rankings for ‘16
“I let out probably pretty loud word I wouldn’t repeat in front of my kids,” Brady said Tuesday of the incident, via NFL.com. “Couldn’t believe it, then I went and got it checked out.
“The QBs ran out for warmups and it was like, ‘all right, I’m not playing.’ A bummer I couldn’t be out there with my teammates. It’s been a crappy way to not be out there, because it’s a silly mistake. I’m glad it wasn’t in the regular season. I learned from it and hopefully won’t be operating anymore scissors for a while.”
The Patriots will take on the Panthers in Charlotte on Friday for their third preseason game. It’s unclear whether Brady will put his injured thumb to the test.
