WBZ has learned that injured New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady may not be 100 percent for 2009.
There have been multiple reports circulating out there about the status of Brady's knee, and his recovery from the
surgery he had back in October.
The good news is that Brady is expected to be ready to go for the 2009 season; however, his knee, in which he tore multiple ligaments during the first game of the season back in September, may not be at full strength.

He may have mobility issues, will probably have to wear a brace and there's no way of knowing how it will hold up over the course of the long season.
At this point, there is no surgery planned to remove any scar tissue that built up as
Brady battled infection.
But surgery could be necessary somewhere down the line as the scar tissue is affecting his mobility right now.
