Patriots' Jacoby Brissett: Dealing with thumb issue
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Brissett suffered a thumb sprain Thursday against the Texans.
Analysis:
Rapoport adds that Brissett's thumb injury is "not deemed to be a serious one," with the injury slated to be monitored leading up the Patriots' Oct. 2 tilt against the Bills. That said, with Tom Brady suspended for one more game and Jimmy Garoppolo dealing with a shoulder injury, we'd expect the Patriots to add QB depth in the coming days.
