Brady had a cold last week and then led the Patriots to a 43-22 win Saturday night over the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC divisional round.

Coach Bill Belichick isn’t giving any information on Brady’s absence. He is referring reporters to the team’s practice report due out Wednesday afternoon. Brady also skipped a scheduled media availability.
