New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has played the last several games with three broken ribs, CBS Sports reported Sunday.

The Patriots had added ribs to the injury report for Brady the week after he took a big hit against the Dolphins in Week 13 and briefly left the field to go to the locker room. He didn’t miss any plays in the game.

“Close game. Blowout. We get behind. I’m expecting to play the whole game,” he said. “I wouldn’t see why I wouldn’t.”

Brady, who this week was selected to his fifth Pro Bowl, returned this season after tearing two knee ligaments in last season’s opener, passing for 4,212 yards with 28 touchdowns and 12 interceptions while starting every game.
