This is reportedly not the first time Brady has rescheduled a news conference this season. The 40-year-old QB was present at practice earlier in the day. He has battled shoulder and Achilles injuries this season, but was removed from the Patriots’ injury report ahead of their Week 17 game against the New York Jets. Per some reports, Brady said he would speak to reporters again on Friday.

Brady reportedly jammed his right (throwing) hand at practice Wednesday after a teammate accidentally ran into him. However, X-Rays revealed no structural damage.

The Patriots still have no plans to re-activate second-year wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell for Sunday’s game. Mitchell has been sidelined nearly all season with knee issues.

New England also listed defensive lineman Alan Branch (knee) and running backs Rex Burkhead (knee) and Mike Gillislee (knee) as limited participants.
