Tom Brady says he won't be using a scissors for a while

After missing a start in a preseason game against the Bears last week due to a freak scissors injury that left his thumb cut, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady says he's going to give scissors a rest.

After also missing practice on Sunday and Monday "to take care of something," Brady said (via ESPN's Mike Reiss):

"I was ready to go, had everything on, and I was just trying to get something out of my shoe. The scissors slipped. Just a silly accident.

"It's a crappy way to not be out there, because it's a silly mistake," Brady added. "I'm glad it wasn't in the regular season. I learned from it and hopefully won't be operating any more scissors for a while."
