Tom Brady began the week on the New England Patriots' injury report, but there should no longer be concerns about his status for Sunday. According to Ben Volin, Brady was removed from the injury report on Thursday after dealing with a shoulder issue.

When Brady made a surprise appearance on the injury report, his chances of playing in Week 9 were in doubt. The future Hall of Fame quarterback even made light of his injury on Thursday morning.

It is unknown how or when Brady developed issues with his shoulder. But it doesn't appear to be anything that could linger or become serious moving forward.

Therefore, fans should expect to see a fully motivated Brady on Sunday night versus the Baltimore Ravens. While the Patriots' defense has been nothing short of spectacular, the ageless quarterback continues to defeat father time.

In his 20th season in the NFL, Tom Brady has completed nearly 65 percent of his passes for 2,251 yards, 13 touchdowns, and four interceptions. Surprisingly enough, Brady has also totaled three rushing touchdowns already (one shy of tying his career-high).

At 42 years old, the only thing that could slow down Brady right now is an injury. To the dismay of the other 31 teams in the NFL, his recent shoulder injury is a non-issue in Week 9 and beyond.

Aside from Tom Brady, New England is also hoping to have Julian Edelman, Shaq Mason, and Rex Burkhead available this week. Edelman and Burkhead were able to play in Week 8 while Mason was inactive with an ankle injury.
