Thumb Injury Isn't Expected To Sideline Tom Brady

Oct 12, 2021 9:26 AM

Tom Brady is dealing with a thumb injury on his right throwing hand, but is expected to play through it against the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday night.

Brady did not give specifics on the injury, which he sustained early in Sunday's win over the Miami Dolphins. He ended up throwing for five touchdowns and 411 yards for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

"He went through the full practice," Bruce Arians said. "Had we had a full-speed practice, he probably would have limited his throwing. But he looks like he'll be fine Thursday."

Andy Reid Becomes First Coach To Win 100 Games With Two Teams

Oct 4, 2021 9:08 AM

Andy Reid made NFL history on Sunday when the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Philadelphia Eagles.

Reid is the first coach in league history to win 100 games with two teams -- the Chiefs and Eagles.

"I'm pretty good with it," he said after K.C.'s 42-30 victory in Philadelphia.

Reid won 140 games with the Eagles from 1999 through 2012. He then moved to Kansas City, where his record is 100-45 in eight full seasons plus four games in 2021.

"It's special to him," Patrick Mahomes said. "He kind of became Andy Reid in Philadelphia. ... But when you look back on [his career], you'll know him as a Kansas City Chief. The way he was able to build up this organization from day one. ... No offense to Philly but I'm glad they let him go and he's coaching us in Kansas City.

"He'll definitely take in this moment for a second, at least.''
