RELATED: Tom Brady could make an unusual concession to keep playing.
That's an explosive statement on several fronts. First, on injury reports over the last four years, Brady has never had a concussion listed.

Second, the NFL has been under fire for its handling of concussions, and to its credit, has taken steps to make sure players that exhibit any signs are treated immediately and aggressively. There would be a ton of questions if the league's most viable player was someone able to skirt those requirements.
The New England Patriots had no comment.
Patriots have no immediate comment on Gisele Bundchen's concussion-related comments on CBS about her husband Tom Brady.

ESPN's Bomani Jones added some more perspective:
to be fair in this brady thing: just because gisele says it was a "concussion" doesn't mean it was one. ppl can use the term loosely.

Brady, the five-time winning Super Bowl quarterback, hadn't missed a game since 2008, when he went down with a knee injury in the opening contest of the season and missed 15 games.
