The Facts:
Following up on a previous item. ... The Patriots held their first practice leading into the Super Bowl Thursday without Brady, who did not participate because of a high right ankle sprain. Brady was not present for the 15-minute period open to the media at the start of practice and did not join the workout after, according to a league source.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
While Brady's injury is not considered serious, and he's said he will play in Super Bowl XLII Feb. 3, team officials apparently decided rest was more important than having him on the field for the first day of game-plan installation. ... Don't be surprised if Brady is held out again today, too.
