Tom Brady injured his hand during practice when a teammate ran into him.

Tom Brady injured his hand during a collision with a teammate at practice, according to multiple reports.

Karen Guregian of the Boston Herald reported that Brady "jammed" his hand when a teammate ran into him. Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network confirmed the report.

The injury was concerning enough that the Patriots had x-rays taken of the hand. The x-rays did not reveal any structural damage, according to Guregian and Rapoport.

Mike Reiss of ESPN later reported that Brady "should be OK" for Sunday's AFC title game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but that he could still be impacted by the injury.

"Source close to Tom Brady: 'Hand should be OK,'" Reiss wrote on Twitter. "Could affect him slightly but belief is that he should be good overall."

Brady was limited during practice and did not attend his regularly scheduled media session on Wednesday.
