Why Tom Brady's big injury from 2020 could lead to a major punishment from the NFL for the Buccaneers

 

It's not easy to upstage yourself after six Super Bowl wins, but Tom Brady definitely managed to do that during the 2020 season and that's because not only did he end up winning his seventh Lombardi Trophy, but he did it in a year where he played the entire season with a torn MCL. 

 

The man won a Super Bowl playing on one leg!

 

Although this will look legendary on Brady's résumé, it's not necessarily a good thing for the Buccaneers that this injury news leaked out on Thursday and that's because it could put them in hot water with the NFL. 

 

The problem for the Buccaneers is that if Brady played the entire season with an MCL tear, then he should have been listed on the team's injury report each week during the season. The NFL has a specific rule that covers this exact situation and the rule is pretty clear. 

 

From the league's handbook: 

 

Quote

"All players who have reportable injuries must be listed on the practice report, even if the player takes all the reps in practice, and even if the team is certain that he will play in the upcoming game. This is especially true of key players."

 

The italicized portion of the above quote is literally UNDERLINED in the league's operations manual. The fact that the NFL also mentions specifically that all "key" players should be on the report is something that will make this difficult for the Buccaneers to argue their way out of. 

 

If a team violates the NFL's policy on reporting injuries, the commissioner has the power to hand down multiple different punishments, including the suspension of anyone involved. 

 

"A violation of the policy may result in Commissioner discipline, which may include a fine on the involved club, fines or suspensions of involved individuals, as well as the possible forfeiture of draft choices by the involved club," the league's rulebook states.

 

Imagine how crazy things would get if Roger Goodell decided to suspend Brady for the second time in five years.

Bucs have a good shot at repeating. Saints swept them last year; not this year.

China still holding onto sparty hope that "this time, surely something will stop the GOAT NFL player from being from Michigan! I believe there's a regulation against this."
