Many announcements have been made across sports newscasting sites that New England's former quarterback, Tom Brady, is behind schedule with his recovery.
Brady tore the ACL and MCL in his left knee during the first quarter of the season's first game: bad luck if you ask me. In early October, he underwent surgery to repair his injuries, but it was later revealed that he obtained a severe infection. The infection, which was discovered in October, set Brady back another six to eight weeks filled with antibiotics and more surgeries to clean up the original infected injury.
