Week 15 Early Injury Reportby Mark Wimer, Exclusive to Footballguys.com
Quarterback
Tom Brady banged up his left knee/shin during the game on Sunday, and visibly limped at times, but stayed in the game until late in the 4th quarter (after the game was out of reach for the Bills). He said of the injury "Hopefully, I'll be out there next week; I'd love to be. We'll see how it goes. It'll be hard to not play." In a rare Monday comment on a player injury, coach Belichick told reporters that Brady was "Fine".
Bulger continues to miss games due to his bum right shoulder, as expected (listed as out on Friday's injury report).
Fiedler's bum shoulder has cost him the 2005 season at this point (he was listed as out on Friday).
Hasselbeck suffered a sternum injury during the game on Sunday when he took a helmet to the chest. He said after the game "I felt like I was drowning, except I wasn’t in water, I just couldn’t get any air.". He stayed in the game and should be fine despite the hard shot.
Johnson suffered a rolled right ankle during the game, but played on after having it taped up - it doesn't look like a problem as of Monday.
Leftwich's broken ankle kept him sidelined on Sunday, as expected.
McNair reported soreness in his ankle and shin after the game, but indicated that everything was "fine". He doesn't look seriously injured.

Bettis suffered a bruised quad during the game on Sunday, but it doesn't look like a serious injury at first blush. He'll be evaluated as the week goes along.
Blaylock's ankle injury continues to keep him sidelined, as expected (listed as out on Friday).
Evans' sore shoulder kept him out of the game on Sunday (he was listed as questionable for the game on Friday's injury report).
Foster suffered a bruised shoulder during the game. He was able to return, but eventually ended up on the bench because the coaching staff believed the injury made him less effective than their other options. He'll be evaluated further as the week goes along.
Green was unable to play on Sunday due to his injured wrist, as expected (he was listed as out on Friday's injury report).
Henry suffered an ankle injury during the game on Sunday - he'll be evaluated further during the week.

Johnson was forced out of the game on Sunday due to a lower back injury - he'll be evaluated further as the week goes along.
Jones, slated to carry the ball in an expanded role on Sunday, suffered a nasty-looking elbow injury after 9 carries and was relegated to the sidelines thereafter, although he did return to the game for 1 play. "I landed on it and hyperextended it. I wanted to go back in, but coach said he didn't want to take any chances and he put (Artose Pinner) in. It's disappointing. Things aren't going the way you expect them to, especially for myself." Jones will be evaluated further during the week.
Jamal Lewis was active but did not play on Sunday - he decided to scratch himself shortly before the game because of a thumb injury that wouldn't allow him to grip the ball properly. There are also rumors that Lewis isn't speaking to head coach Brian Billick - there may be more in play here than just a thumb injury. Stay tuned...
Curtis Martin's season is over as his knee injury will require season-ending surgery.
McGahee suffered an unspecified head trauma during the game on Sunday that sidelined him for a large part of the action, though he did return to play after a time on the sidelines. He'll be evaluated further as the week goes along.
Moore was not in shape to make an impact on Sunday, according to coach Tice who said "He had that quad banged up before he went out, and the trainers notified me he wasn't in any mental shape to go out and be an impact." Michael Bennett has seen an increased role while Moore has struggled with a variety of injuries over the past few weeks.
Pass was unable to play on Sunday due to his hamstring injury (he was listed as questionable for the game on Friday's injury report).
Perry was knocked out of the game with a left ankle sprain - he said after the game "It's always something." Coach Lewis commented "Chris has some kind of ankle sprain. The first (MRI) scans were negative." Perry will be evaluated further as the week goes along.

Tomlinson played on Sunday, but was limited by the sore ribs that kept him out of almost all of the team's practices during the preceeding week. Tomlinson commented after the game "I'm feeling OK. I've been better, but this what I chose to do, so ... pain is no excuse at all. You play through it. We're all battling injuries out there. I'm not the only one."
Westbrook missed the game on Sunday as expected (mid foot injury, out on Friday's injury report). He was placed on IR Monday, but the good news is that he doesn't need surgery and his foot injury should heal in a relatively brief period of time (6-9 weeks). There are conflicting reports about whether or not the injury is a Lisfranc sprain, but the key fact for Westbrook owners in dynasty/keeper leagues is that he should be good to go during 2006.
