Injury bug doesn't spare Belichick: ‘I think I'll live'

Share

FOXBORO -- Bill Belichick looked a little banged up at the podium on Wednesday morning. He walked into his press conference with what appeared to be a bruised left eye and was eventually asked lightheartedly if he'd show up on the injury report this week. 

"I don't think we need to list the coaches on the injury report," Belichick said. "But if we're required to do it, I'm sure we'll do it."

The first Patriots injury report will be released on Wednesday, and even if Belichick is at all affected by the shiner he's sustained, he doesn't anticipate that the nick -- one of the many his team has sustained over the course of this season -- will be an impediment. 

"I think I'll live," he said.
