New England Patriots’ place kicker Stephen Gostkowski was seen applying a small bandage to his left hand while exiting a post office just north of Boston on Wednesday afternoon. According to an anonymous source, Gostkowski was preparing to mail a pair of shredded Super Bowl XLII tickets along with a vindictive letter to his ex-girlfriend, Tricia, when he suffered what is being described as a “moderate paper cut” across the 2nd and 3rd knuckles of his left hand.
The source also noted that the cut was “pretty deep,” saying, “he (Gostkowski) probably went through, like, three or four tissues before it stopped bleeding.”
At a Thursday morning press conference, Gostkowski denied the significance of the injury, stating, “I’m a kicker. It’s not like this is debilitating. Besides, I’ve always been a quick healer.” It is likely that this last comment refers to a 2004 injury which Gostkowski suffered while at the University of Memphis; this injury involved a stapler.
Despite the kicker’s firm resolve, preliminary reports from Patriots’ medical staff indicate that unless there is a drastic change in his condition, Gostkowski will likely be listed as a “game-time decision” in the initial injury report to be submitted next week.
