Brady Out for the YEAR? (Pick up Matt Cassell)

There's rumors going around that it's a torn ACL. Here's the text from ProFootballTalk:

Though there's no official word on the status of Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, several members of the team the Pats play next think he has a torn ACL.

"Everybody I talked to said it's a torn ACL," an unnaned Jets player told Tom Curran of NBCSports.com. "Players AND coaches. When we came in here that's what people were saying, 'Brady's got a torn ACL.'"

Said coach Bill Belichick after Sunday's 17-10 win over the Chiefs: "I don't have any update on Tom. They're looking at him, doing some tests on him. I don't have any information yet. Not that anybody would be interested in that."

UPDATE: In response to a question in the comments about what this means, if it's a torn ACL, Brady likely will miss the rest of the season. In 1995, Steelers cornerback Rod Woodson suffered a torn ACL and returned to play in the Super Bowl. But, for most players, it means what another commenter has suggested a€" Brady is "donezo."
