Patriots' Tom Brady Says He Feels 'Pretty Good' Despite Dealing with Calf Injury

Tom Brady defies age more often than not, but the 42-year-old New England Patriots quarterback is still a human. 

On the Patriots' official injury report, the six-time Super Bowl champion is listed as dealing with a calf injury that has limited him in practice dating back to Sept. 18.

"Football is a contact sport," Brady told reporters Wednesday. "I wouldn't say I'm a spring chicken anymore. I'm trying to just feel as great as I can, and we'll see how it goes tomorrow. But I feel pretty good."

Brady has played better than pretty good through the first three games of the season, throwing for 911 yards, seven touchdowns and no interceptions as the 3-0 Patriots have outscored their opponents 106-17.

In fact, as CBS Boston's Michael Hurley pointed out, Brady is somehow improving as he gets older:

Brady has largely avoided injury throughout his storied career. The three-time MVP has played a full 16-game regular season in 15 of 18 years since taking over as the Patriots starter in 2001. The anomaly came when he tore his ACL in Week 1 of the 2008 campaign.

It seems Brady will be good to go for New England's game against the 3-0 Buffalo Bills on Sunday.
