Again, Brady says his ankle’s fine, and won’t be an issue Sunday

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Not surprisingly, the first question Tom Brady heard at yesterday’s Media Day was about his sprained right ankle, which he practiced on Monday.

“My ankle feels good. My ankle feels great,” he said. “I practiced a full day yesterday. I think we had one incompletion in practice. It feels great.”

The NFL MVP said the bye week definitely helped.

“I’m glad we had the week off and I had the chance to rest a little bit. I really feel that by the game it’s going to feel great, and there will be no issues. Not that I can run anyway, but hopefully I’ll be able to skirt around some of those guys who are trying to tear my head off.”

Randy Moss said he isn’t worried about having his quarterback out there come Sunday afternoon.

“Me, personally, no,” Moss said. “Tom is a warrior. I don’t think that a high ankle sprain can keep him out of the game. Hopefully he’s ready and I look forward to seeing him out there on Sunday.”
