Patriots Pressuring Garoppolo to Play

[JSamuel]

The New England Patriots are reportedly trying to pressure Jimmy Garoppolo into playing against the Houston Texans on Thursday, and they’re using the face of their franchise as an example to encourage him to play through pain.

According to Jeff Howe of the Boston Herald, the Patriots want Garoppolo to suit up Thursday despite the fact that he is struggling to lift his right arm. In order to motivate the 24-year-old, the team is reportedly reminding him that Tom Brady has played hurt.

Poor guy.
