The two Biggest Game-changers on the Patriots have been practicing, but both have been limited and listed on injury reports. Thursday was a nice change of pace for the team and the fans, as both superstars were Full Participants.
Tom Brady’s participation has always been important, although Patriot fans have always known nothing would stop him from playing that week.
The Patriots can always count on Brady, but today’s news that he is completely off the injury report as a Full Participant is great to see.

The news that both players were full participants today is noteworthy, as New England is looking to clinch the division Sunday.
New England’s track record against Miami away from home has not been great during the Tom Brady era. The Dolphins always play them tough, the Patriots can’t afford to drop a game in Miami as they often have. New England is currently the number 2 seed behind KC, with the tiebreaker on their side. So a win Sunday is very important if the Pats want home field throughout the playoffs.
