New England has yet to give definitive word on Brady’s injury, but the panic has already spread. For a team that will already be without every major contributor to their receiving core from 2012, the Patriots cannot afford to lose Brady. The entire landscape of the conference is hinging on an injury update. For now, it appears the injury is not serious.
Some other NFL news happened on Wednesday as well. Here's what you may have missed.
Von Miller was arrested on Sunday for failure to appear in court after a series of traffic violations last fall. A warrant for Miller's arrest has been out since January. A background check at a gun store revealed the warrant and Miller was arrested only to be released on $1,000 bail. Miller is set to begin serving a four-game suspension for a violation of league policy when the regular season gets underway.
Rams linebacker Jo-Lonn Dunbar has been suspended for the first four games of the NFL season for violating the league's policy on performance enhancing drugs. Dunbar says he mistakenly took something that prompted the failed test but that he would not appeal the suspension.
