Practice report: Brady moving well

Dan Pompei of the Chicago Tribune, the Patriots' pool reporter for this week, has filed the following practice report for New England:

Quarterback Tom Brady's injured ankle was not much of an issue during the Patriots practice Wednesday.

Brady participated in all phases of practice and moved better than he did Monday. He did not have his ankle taped outside of his shoe and he was not limping noticeably. The Patriots did not list Brady's ankle on the injury report.

Asked about how Brady moved, coach Bill Belichick said, "Everybody practiced. They're fine."

Wide receiver Jabar Gaffney's participation in practice was limited because of a shoulder injury, however.

Though Brady did not appear affected by his ankle, the passing game was a little uneven. Asked about the practice, Belichick said, "I've seen better. There's always things to work on. We have plenty of them."

In a two-hour practice at Sun Devil Stadium under sunny skies, the Patriots wore pads for the first time this week. "We tried to get the tempo up a little bit and we did that," Belichick said.
