BOSTON — New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was in a two-car accident near his home at about 6:30 a.m. Thursday morning but was unhurt and attended practice later in the day at Gillette Stadium.
Brady arrived at the stadium Thursday morning and was involved in parts of meetings and a walk-through in addition to participating in the team’s practice session as the Patriots prepare for Sunday’s season opener against the Cincinnati Bengals.
During the 11-minute portion of afternoon practice that reporters were allowed to watch Thursday, Brady, in full uniform with pads and helmet, stretched as usual with his teammates. Then, as he usually does, he threw soft passes of 20 to 30 yards to teammates.
Patriots coach Bill Belichick told the team about the accident before practice and said Brady might be a bit late.
“He didn’t make it seem like it was anything serious,” outside linebacker Tully Banta-Cain said of Belichick’s remarks to the team. “I saw [Brady] a little while ago and he looks OK. I saw him walking in, he had a smile on his face, no abrasions. I think he’s fine. That was my first reaction.”
Added veteran tight end Alge Crumpler: “He’s here, he’s ready to go.”
Rookie tight end Rob Gronkowski said he caught a pass from Brady in the pre-practice walk-through and that it was as crisp as ever.
“We’re just all thankful he’s fine, and glad he’s back here already, and back working,” Gronkowski said.
His initial reaction was concern.
“Obviously it’s a shock, no matter who it is,” Gronkowski said. “You never want to hear information like that. We’re all thankful everyone is all right and he’s here.”

The crash, at an intersection in Boston’s Back Bay area blocks from Brady’s home, knocked over a light pole and sent a passenger in the other vehicle to the hospital with injuries that were serious but not considered life-threatening, a police report said.
A police report says 21-year-old Ludgero Rodrigues was driving a Mercury Villager minivan that struck Brady’s Audi sedan.
Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles spokeswoman Ann Dufresne says the driver’s license of Rodrigues was suspended at least five times in three years. She says that includes a 180-day suspension last year after he was arrested for operating under the influence and refused to take a blood-alcohol test.
Police say Rodrigues was cited Thursday for failing to stop at a red light. Two other people in the minivan were able to exit and had no visible injuries, witnesses said.
A telephone listing for Rodrigues could not immediately be found Thursday.

Where do you find good enough theme for WP? There are enough nice themes, but very complicated in settings. I have tried recent versions of free and premium MASUGID, Sofa Rooster, Gallerific, Convention, also I tried also BAsense – simple, but made for Ad-Sense. Infrequent we can see something cool but good in settings.
Very nicely written..I wish I could write as well as you!
If I was injured in an accident at work and decided to sue, will that hurt the company? I want to look our for my best interests, but at the same time, I’d hate to know that other people have lost their jobs becuase of my lawsuit. Is that selfish thinking?
Although I would’ve preferred if you went into a little bit more detail, I still got the gist of what you meant. I agree with it. It might not be a popular idea, but it makes sense. Will definitely come back for more of this. Great work
I am very disappointed of level of that web site. I’ve never seen so feeble articles, absolutely waste of time!
Becoming injured within an incident at work may place you into very hard scenario. Section of a person does not want to seem disloyal to your employer by seeking compensation, however equally you’re justified in not wanting to be remaining out of pocket because of the cost caused by the actual accident.
