Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady reportedly played the entire 2020-21 season injured.
According to Rick Stroud, the seven-time Super Bowl champion had a torn MCL last season when he led the Bucks to the Super Bowl. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)
Stroud described the MCL tear as a partial tear, but Ian Rapoport reported that it was actually fully torn and needed surgery.
