Report: Brady has knee surgery in L.A.

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady had surgery on his left knee a month after a season-ending injury, according to a published report.

The Boston Globe reported Wednesday that the surgery was performed Monday in Los Angeles.

Patriots spokesman Stacey James declined to comment. Coach Bill Belichick refused comment during his regular news conference Wednesday at San Jose State, where the team is practicing for Sunday’s game at San Diego.

A spokesperson for Dr. Neal S. ElAttrache, a Los Angeles orthopedist who the Globe said Brady had chosen to do the operation, said she could not comment because Brady had not given permission to discuss his case.

Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones was involved in a fight with one of his bodyguards, according to Dallas police, the night before attending a previously scheduled team meeting with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

St. Louis Rams wide receiver Dane Looker will have additional tests designed to rule out an aneurysm after a CAT scan that cleared him from a concussion revealed a brain abnormality.

Dr. Matt Matava, a team physician, said Looker also would be examined today by a neurosurgical consultant.

Team medical personnel believe the abnormality is unrelated to the concussion Looker sustained against the Buffalo Bills on Sept. 28.

Because of Looker’s condition, the Rams re-signed wide receiver Eddie Kennison after releasing him on Tuesday.
