Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the injuries came as the result of a hit in the pocket when Tebow was pressured after throwing a pass. Even so, he was determined to finish the game with his teammates regardless of the score. The Patriots defeated the Broncos 45-10. ... Because of the severe pain, Tebow had trouble sleeping over the weekend, then had an MRI on his chest Monday to determine the extent of the damage. He has been undergoing rehab throughout this week. Even with the injuries, it is believed Tebow will begin his offseason training program according to schedule.
