Brady was knocked out of Sunday's 17-10 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs midway through the first quarter after he was hit in the back of the left knee by safety Bernard Pollard.

Patriots coach Bill Belichick said after the game that he did have any update and that tests were still being run on Brady....
