Tom Brady did little to put all the talk about his injured hand to rest Thursday.
In full Bill Belichick mode, the Patriots quarterback started his media session by saying he would not be answering questions about the hand injury he suffered during Wednesday's practice.
"I'm not talking about that," Brady said several times.
And when he was asked if he plans on playing in Sunday's AFC title game vs. the Jaguars, the five-time Super Bowl champ simply said: "We'll see."
Brady, 40, suffered some type of hand injury in a collision with a teammate at the start of New England's practice on Wednesday. X-rays revealed no structural damage, the NFL Network reported.
According to a report from Michael Felger of 98.5 The Sports Hub in Boston, Brady suffered a cut on his finger from hitting the buckle on a teammates helmet. He needed four stitches around the knuckle, per Felger.
The NFL Network's Ian Rapoport added that it was "gushing blood when it happened."
Brady did not practice Thursday and when asked about Friday's session, he again gave a non-answer: "I was out there."
He added that practice "was fun."
In the Patriots' official practice participation report, Brady was listed as "limited" and is officially questionable for Sunday.
A source told Rapoport that Brady was "zinging it pretty good (Friday)."
Brady didn't give reporters a look at the injury as he wore gloves on both hands. He downplayed that fact as well saying he's worn gloves to press conferences before.
The four-time Super Bowl MVP, who usually only wears a glove on his non-throwing hand, has never missed a playoff start in his 18-year career.
He's been on the Patriots' injury report several times during the second half of the season with injuries to both his Achilles tendon and his left shoulder.
The Patriots host the Jaguars at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough on Sunday. After the Patriots traded both Jimmy Garoppolo and Jacoby Brissett during the season, journeyman QB Brian Hoyer is the backup with New England.
