The long road back

After the harrowing events of Sept. 7, Tom Brady has taken his first step in his recovery, undergoing surgery on Monday in Los Angeles.

According to sources in the sports medicine field, recovery time ranges from 6-8 months. This is great news for Patriots fans, as it means Brady should be in fine condition come the start of training camp in mid-July.

Of course, it's not as good as him being back on the field, but at least he's back on schedule.
