Disastrous news for the New England Patriots.

Yahoo Sports’ Michael Silver is reporting that quarterback Tom Brady will miss the rest of the season. Silver’s sources indicate that Brady suffered a torn ACL in his left knee on a hit by Bernard Pollard of the Chiefs.

While on NBC’s , Sports Illustrated scribe Peter King could not confirm the severity of Brady’s injury, but did say it was an injury that would put the rest of the season “in jeopardy”.

Word of Brady being gone for the year will send shockwaves throughout the league, and it will probably re-ignite conversation over the play itself. The league has already said it was a clean hit by Pollard, but there are many who share the opinion of Patriots’ receiver Randy Moss, who doesn’t agree with the NFL.

Already, we’d heard from Jets players who were saying Brady suffered a torn ACL, and any look at the tape of the play leads you to the conclusion that this was probably a bad injury.

The Patriots have not confirmed Silver’s report. They are listing Brady as questionable for next week’s game with the Jets because of a sore back.
