New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has dealt with an elbow injury the last few weeks but against the Buffalo Bills he wasn't on the injury report. Brady had one of his better games of the season on Sunday throwing for 278 yards and a touchdown.
On Monday he was asked about his elbow in his weekly radio interview with WEEI and he claimed that his elbow is feeling really good.

I got hit on it and I think any time you get hit on a joint you’re going to have a little soreness, but it feels good. I couldn’t imagine feeling any better at this point of the season. Not dealing with anything, just ready to go out and practice and again play my best game of the year.”
Brady did have his elbow wrapped after Saturday's game but he claimed that was a new injury, and not the same one that had put him on the injury report the previous few weeks. A few days after the injury it's clear from Brady's comments that he is feeling better heading into a key Week 17 matchup against the Miami Dolphins.
The Patriots are heavy favorites for the game, but they can't overlook it or they could be playing on wild card weekend. All the Patriots need is a win to wrap up the second seed and a first-round bye. Brady being healthy is going to be key in this game so it's good news for Patriots fans that he is healthy.
