Remember earlier in the week when Tom Brady said he didn’t like the Dallas Cowboys? Now, Brady is listed on the injury report for Sunday’s marquee NFL match-up. However, the league and fans shouldn’t be concerned.
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Brady is nursing an elbow injury. His status is more precautionary and rest oriented. In so many words, Brady will play Sunday and likely do a fine job.
#Patriots QB Tom Brady, who was listed as questionable on the injury report, is expected to play, source said. More managing the elbow and taking care of it than anything.

For example, here’s a testament to Brady’s durability. Try to name the Patriots’ back-up quarterback. While I give you time, it’s rookie Jarrett Stidham. The reason you didn’t know this, is because despite being listed on the injury report often – a common Bill Belichick practice – Brady always plays.
Sure, Brady has expressed frustration with the New England offense recently. While his numbers aren’t jumping off the page, he’s still been solid and the Patriots are still a one-loss team. By all measures, they’re still the measuring stick for all NFL teams to go by. All of this starts and ends with the man under center for nearly two decades. And there’s a fair chance that Brady outplays his counterpart Dak Prescott on Sunday during the national TV game in New England.
Furthermore, here’s reason for Dallas to be concerned.
The temperature is expected to be in the 40s for the @dallascowboys game vs the @Patriots in Foxborough on Sunday.
In his last 4 outdoor games in sub-50 degree weather, @dak is 4-0 with a 111.8 passer rating

Once again, good luck Sunday Dallas.
