The intrigue surrounding Tom Brady's thumb injury will continue into Sunday.

The New England Patriots listed Brady as questionable to play against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Sunday's AFC Championship Game because of a hand injury.

A source close to the situation told NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport that Brady suffered a cut to his right thumb during Wednesday's practice. The cut was gushing blood and required stitches, per Rapoport.

After not practicing Thursday, Brady was limited Friday. A source told Rapoport that Brady was "zinging it pretty good" during the session.

2. It's never straight forward.

3. It's probably going to be zero degrees!

He won't even feel it!

Hell, the freezing blood will mean he won't even need a Band-Aid!

On the other hand - weren't Floridians just freaking out when it got so cold it might - SNOW?

Where is Jacksonville?

4. 40 degrees in Foxborough this weekend.

5. That's 4 degrees Celsius.

Be sure and remind the Jags it's a balmy day!

7. Um, they beat the Steelers In Pittsburgh on Sunday

I'm a Steeler fan, but now I'm rooting for the Jaguars to beat the Cheatriots!

[AnnieBW]

6. Awww... Poor Tommy got a booboo...

Now the NFL will have to give him another championship.

[LSFL]

8. bah humbug and pshaw

A preordained excuse in case the taint licking Pats lose. They have done this before.

9. How is Brady going to hold a partially deflated football with 4 cold

and frozen fingers. Good Luck Patriots

[bluedigger]

13. He'll have a secret thumb hole drilled in them and throw them like bowling balls.

Our Tommy's an improviser, ayuh.

[democratisphere]

14. We'll see how that bowling ball hole thing works for ya!

10. I want to see the Vikings play the Patriots

For no other reason than to see Brady get pummeled by the Vikings defense.

11. Jaguars have the front 4 to do that

There is a reason why they are called Sacksonville plus they only blitz 18% of the time so it is entirely their front 4 creating this pressure.

12. I want to see him pummeled by the Jaguars.

Fuck that guy.
