A Super Bowl without Tom Brady? It seemed hard to believe, but this option can now be ruled out. The quarterback for the New England Patriots has been cleared to play after having the stitches removed from his right hand. This means he can play without any issues for the NFL title.
Tom Brady received 12 stitches on his throwing hand after getting injured by a helmet clasp during practice with one of his teammates. Despite this, he played injured against the Jacksonville Jaguars for the National Conference title.
They achieved victory and the right to play in the Super Bowl, which will mark his eighth appearance in the NFL's final game. It will take place on February 4th against the Eagles at U.S. Bank Stadium, home of the Minnesota Vikings.
His teammate, tight end Rob Gronkowski, has not been so lucky. He completed his training for the second consecutive day on Sunday, but he remains on the injured list due to a concussion.
