As it turns out, Brady left the game after a hit to his arm, and not out of concern for his ailing finger. The AJC reports:
Brady Returns To Field Following Arm Injury
While the Patriots celebrated the touchdown, Brady trotted off the field and kept going, vanishing through the tunnel. He returned five minutes later, and following a Miami punt he was back in the game without missing a play.
For the time being, it seems apparent that Brady’s injury is not serious.
