New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, who was listed on the injury report this week, has fallen off the medical document. Not literally or anything like that. That would be painful.

After missing his second consecutive practice on Wednesday, then only participating in a limited fashion on Thursday, Tom Brady was a full participant on Friday. He has been dealing with a minor Achilles injury. Then again, it is always only minor when it isn't our Achilles.

The injury didn’t seem to bother Brady too much last Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. By the time that bad boy was all said and done, he passed for 227 yards and four touchdowns, good for a QB rating of 114.1.

The victory improved the Patriots’ record to 9-2, tying them with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the top-record in the AFC.

Brady’s 26 touchdowns on the season are the most by any quarterback over the age of 40. In another interesting statistical tidbit, his passer rating while under pressure is actually better than any other quarterback's normal passer rating. A true testament to the greatness that is Tom Brady.

The Patriots won’t have offensive lineman Marcus Cannon (ankle) or wide receiver Chris Hogan (shoulder) against the Buffalo Bills this week. New England ruled both out.
