One of those developments came Sunday, when the Patriots' Tom Brady said he will be ready to play in the Super Bowl.
New England's star quarterback walked up the three short steps to a podium with ease sunday night, showing no signs of the right ankle injury that had become such a hot topic since he was spotted wearing a protective boot last week.
"It's feeling good. i'll be ready to go," brady said with a smile as the afc champions met the media for the first time shortly after arriving in Phoenix.
It was the first time brady acknowledged he was injured in the AFC Championship game.
Since then, Brady hasn't practiced, but said he moved a little bit during the week and "shuffled around."
"I'm not concerned about how it's going to affect my play," he said. "this won't keep me out."
