FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Tom Brady is ready to play after cutting his right thumb with scissors in a silly accident before the Patriots preseason game against the Bears last week.Brady said Tuesday he missed the first two practices this week for personal reasons, but that hes available and ready to play when New England visits Carolina on Friday.The 39-year-old quarterback has yet to appear in a game this preseason. Hes got two more games before the start of an NFL-issued four-game regular-season suspension for his role in Deflategate.He hasnt missed a regular-season start since 2008, when he suffered a torn ACL in his left knee during the season opener.Brady said the accident with the scissors occurred when he was trying to get something out of his cleat. The scissors slipped and cut his thumb, causing him to let out probably a pretty loud word I wouldnt repeat in front of my kids.Im glad it wasnt the regular season and I learned from it, so hopefully wont be operating any more scissors for a while, Brady said.Brady said he wanted to play against Chicago, but coach Bill Belichick made the decision hed sit out. It was a decision the former MVP agreed with.It took a few days (to heal), Brady said. I wanted to go and coach said its probably best if you -- for what I was going to go out and do -- just take it easy. So thats what I ended up doing. I wish I could have played. Ive been missing playing. I want to get out there with my teammates.Belichick has said previously that Jimmy Garoppolo will start while Bradys out, with Brady returning to the starting role once his suspension ends prior to New Englands game at Cleveland on Oct. 9.Asked if he expecteed to play Brady this week after being out the first two preseason games, Belichick said the priority remains getting Garoppolo ready.ddddddddddddAll three quarterbacks are extremely important. Jimmys preparation for the Arizona opener is the most important, Belichick said. Nothings changed, and nothings gonna change. Thats the way its gonna be.Brady is eligible to participate in all preseason games and practices, but cant have contact with the team during his suspension.Though hes been a spectator so far this preseason, he said there has been a good dialogue with Garoppolo.Were in every meeting together and theres always a good back and forth in our room, Brady said. I think thats really encouraged by (offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels) to speak up and say what you think. If you see someone maybe doing something a little bit different, were always trying to be on the same page.He said how he will handle staying in football shape during the suspension is still to be determined.I try to treat it no different, Brady said. Ive always tried to do the best I can do to prepare and be ready to go. Thats the kind of mode that Ive got to get into.Game notes The Patriots released cornerback E.J. Biggers, running back Donald Brown and defensive lineman Frank Kearse. The roster currently stands at 83. Teams must reduce their active rosters to 75 players on Aug. 30.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Kyle Hightower on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/khightower ' ' '
