Based on other reports, former Los Angeles Chargers team doctor David Chao, or @ProFootballDoc on Twitter, believes Brady
suffered an “open finger dislocation.”
That means one of Brady’s finger bones pierced the skin “from the inside out,” according to Chao.
Ouch.
Where Brady suffered the injury will determine how much effect it has on his play. Chao said an open finger dislocation most commonly occurs on the pinky or ring finger, which would have a “minimal effect” on Brady’s play. If it happened to his thumb, that’s a different story.
