Watch: Buccaneers QB Tom Brady pranks fans, pretends to cut off finger

By Victor Barbosa | Last updated 9/23/22

Early this week, Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady revealed that he was dealing with a sore ring finger on his throwing hand following the team's Week 2 win against the New Orleans Saints.

Various reports speculated Friday that the Bucs were perhaps violating NFL rules, as they haven't been listing the "GOAT" on their injury report.
Whether or not Tampa Bay is breaking league rules, Brady and celebrity chef Nick DiGiovanni decided to have some fun with the idea recently.

"TB12's" aerial attack is expected to be severely shorthanded in Week 3, as Pro Bowl wide receiver Mike Evans is suspended for the contest , and Chris Godwin and Julio Jones (among others) are dealing with injuries. The Buccaneers signed Cole Beasley to their practice squad this week, but it is not yet known if he'll be active.

Tampa Bay hosts the Green Bay Packers at 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday in what could be the final head-to-head meeting between Brady and Aaron Rodgers.
