Unfortunately, Tom Brady’s Thumb is Fine
Published:
Hoping maybe the Eagles would catch a break and get a less-than-100% Tom Brady on Thursday night, but that does not appear to be the case.
Speaking on Tuesday, he gave a thumb update:

No serious injury. Just discomfort. Bruce Arians echoed that same sentiment, telling reporters that Brady would be fine.
Brady injured the thumb during the second quarter of the Bucs’ 45-17 victory over Miami. He finished the game with five touchdown passes and more than 400 yards.
A better look at the digit right here:
