0 shoutsFOXBOROUGH, Massachusetts (Ticker) -- New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady sat out his third consecutive preseason game Friday night.
Brady, who has been bothered by a nagging right ankle injury, did not even dress for the game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Last week, Brady did not make the trip to Tampa Bay for New England's second preseason game.
In an interview with a Boston radio station Monday, Brady said the injury was different from the ailment that plagued him last season leading up to Super Bowl XLII.
Brady, who threw a single-season record 50 touchdowns last season in leading the Patriots to a 16-0 regular season, also missed the exhibition opener against Baltimore.
