New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is reportedly just fine and as good as he's been in a while after suffering an MCL sprain.

Brady and company will prepare for a playoff matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, with the Patriots hoping to move one step closer toward getting back to yet another Super Bowl.

However, there had been some concerns about Brady's knee, but it appears that the bye week has allowed the star quarterback to heal and be fully ready for the big game.

And as New England prepares to face the Chargers today in a Divisional Round playoff game, that bye helped Brady. Sources say Brady is as healthy as he's been today since he began the season, having made good use of the bye.

Previously, Brady battled an MCL sprain, sources say, one that took him a few weeks to overcome. In his worst statistical season since 2014, it clearly affected Brady.

That's obviously a huge positive for the Patriots heading into this one, as they need Brady at his best if they want to outscore the high-powered Chargers offense.

Los Angeles has already went on the road and beat the Baltimore Ravens, so New England will need to be ready for a huge challenge at Gillette Stadium.
