Tom Brady, who has been out this whole preseason, says he will be ready to play in New England's season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs. No shock here. Brady has been out with a right foot injury since the start of the preseason, but when isn't Tom Brady on the injury list. For the past two years Brady has been "probable" before the start of every game. Fantasy football owners expect him to always be a game time decision. I never thought twice that he would not be ready for week one.
Rookie quarterback Matt Ryan was a winner in his first preseason start with the Falcons.
Ryan, the third pick in the draft, completed 15 of 21 passes for 102 yards with a 1-yard scoring pass to another rookie, Harry Douglas, and no interceptions. He said he had "a lot of fun."
This 17-3 victory over the Tennessee Titans puts Ryan in a good position to be the starting on opening day.
