September 7, 2008 Yahoo! Sports: Brady done for 2008 season with torn ACL

(NECN) - According to Michael Silver of Yahoo! Sports, sources have indicated that the New England Patriots will be forced to play without their stud quarterback Tom Brady under center.

Silver cites a team source who said, “It’s bad. We’re going to have to play without him.”

The damage to Brady's knee is reportedly severe, with the 2007 NFL MVP suffering a torn ACL. This was the first week since Brady's initial season in the league when he was not placed on the injury list as at least probable.
