While the NFL continues to process today’s concussion lawsuit litigation, there are going to be games tonight.

Sort of.

Most prominent players will do little, or nothing, in the preseason finales, and Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is leaning toward the nothing.

According to Jeff Howe of the Boston Herald, Brady “and many key starters” won’t play for the Patriots tonight against the Giants.

Unless a coach is willing to put his all starting offensive linemen and skill position players on the field, putting the starting quarterback out there doesn’t make much sense.

Unless, I suppose, the starting quarterback is Mark Sanchez.
