Well, that clears things up. Sort of.
Two days after Gisele Bündchen said her husband, Tom Brady, suffered a concussion last season, the agent for the Patriots quarterback issued a carefully worded statement.
“Tom was not diagnosed with a concussion last year,” Don Yee told ESPN. “Many of the protocols and safeguards still are evolving, and it’s obviously a good thing the organization and everyone close to him is vigilant and always looking out for his health.”
The statement backs the Patriots for not putting Brady on the injury report, while not flatly calling Bündchen a liar. And it only took two days.
“He had a concussion last year,” Bündchen told Charlie Rose on “CBS This Morning” on Wednesday. “He had pretty much concussions every, I mean we don’t talk about, but he does have concussions. I don’t think it’s a healthy thing for a body to go through that kind of aggression all the time. That can’t be healthy for you.”
In any event, it’s safe to say the “we don’t talk about” concussions rule is back on in the Brady household.
