EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. --?Tom Brady is scheduled to start at quarterback for the New England Patriots in Thursdays preseason finale against the New York Giants, according to ESPN and multiple media reports.A source confirmed to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter that Brady, who will serve a four-game suspension to open the season, will start ahead of rookie?Jacoby Brissett during Thursdays game.Jimmy Garoppolo, who will start in Bradys absence during his suspension, is not expected to play barring an unexpected change, a source familiar with the teams plan told ESPN.It is not known how long the Patriots plan to play Brady before turning things over to Brissett. This will mark just the third time since 2004 that Brady will take snaps in a preseason finale, with the most recent time coming in 2011.Brady did play one snap in the 2014 preseason finale against the Giants, as he was summoned off the sideline to serve as the emergency holder on the field goal unit as a reminder that he always had to be prepared for that role in the event of an injury.Coach Bill Belichick hinted that Brady was going to play Thursday night, explaining the importance of Brady doing so to sports radio WEEI by saying, I think its obvious, playing in games is different from practicing.Your backup quarterback can play in preseason, and who knows when hes going to play again [after that]? But whenever he does, its going to be very important. We know when Tom is going to play again [Oct. 9], and thats going to be important. I think these [regular-season] games, even though theyre not right on the doorstep, they are still an important part of his preparation and the teams preparation with him at quarterback. Thats why we do it.Garoppolo started the teams first three preseason games and has played 113 snaps, while Brissett has played solely in the second half and has gotten 77 snaps.Brady has only seen action in one preseason game this year -- last weeks 19-17 victory against Carolina during which he completed 3-of-9 attempts for 76 yards and 1 touchdown.The Patriots open the season Sept. 11 at the Arizona Cardinals, and Belichick has said the priority in training camp was having Garoppolo ready for that game. Risking injury in Thursdays preseason finale was also likely part of the consideration in him not being expected to play.During his suspension, which begins Sept. 3, Brady cannot attend or watch practice or appear at the teams facility for any reason. He also cant have contact with any team personnel or engage in any team-related activities for discussions with teammates, even if away from the Patriots facility. Cheap Adidas Shoes China .

FRISCO, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones, when asked for a scenario in which quarterback Tony Romo would play this season, made reference to the Supreme Courts 1964 ruling on pornography.I dont have a definition for it, but youll know it when you see it, Jones said on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas on Tuesday. Its kind of like definition I heard one time of another issue trying to define a negative topic, and they said, I dont know how to say it, but its just something that when you see it, you know its there. Well see it.On Monday, coach Jason Garrett did not make any season-long proclamation about Dak Prescotts job status, but he backed the rookie.You can make it as simple or as complex as you want to make it, Garrett said. Its pretty simple for us: Daks going to play quarterback as we go forward.The Cowboys (11-2) are tied for the NFLs best record and Prescott has 20 touchdown passes and four interceptions. But he has struggled recently, and the Cowboys have scored just 24 points in the past two games.Prescott has gone three straight games without passing for 200 yards, and he had his first multiple-interception game in Sundays 10-7 loss to the Neew York Giants.ddddddddddddThe Cowboys have converted just two of their past 24 third-down tries, none through the air.After the loss Sunday, Garrett and Jones said putting Romo into the Giants game was not contemplated.Romo has been the backup for the past four weeks after spending the first nine games on injured reserve with a compression fracture in his back. He has not played in a regular-season game since Thanksgiving 2015 and has not finished a full game since Nov. 22, 2015.On Tuesday, Jones called the quarterback debate a legitimate discussion.I understand the question, but I dont want to get into the scenario. It goes too far into talking about what we dont want to talk about, Jones said, alluding to injury or poor play. But given the need for [Romo], we want him ready on the spur of the moment to be a part of any effort we make ... to win the ballgames.And, so, it would be when we all probably thought it was time for him to come in and play. I dont want to give you those circumstances because I dont like either one of the discussions. ' ' '
