We're only four days away from the AFC Championship Game, and New England Patriots fans should feel the slightest bit concerned about the health of their star quarterback Tom Brady...right? Brady missed Thursday's practice after jamming his throwing hand the previous day, according to Karen Guregian of the Boston Herald.

Brady was spotted on the sidelines wearing a glove on his throwing hand, a move he has criticized in the past.

Tom Brady (from Dec. 29, 2017, on how he feels about wearing gloves during games with the weather in mind): "Early in my career I tried using a glove on my throwing hand a little bit. It didn’t go too well. I think it’s better without."

Brady is a fierce competitor so he will almost certainly suit up this Sunday, regardless of how bad the injury may be. Ultimately, his performance on Sunday will come down to effectiveness. If he struggles to complete the throws he's accustomed to making, the Patriots will face an uphill battle against a top-ranked Jacksonville Jaguars defense. 

The news has some worried.
