New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady went to the locker room for treatment of an arm injury, but did not miss a play in yesterday's 22-21 loss to Miami.

Brady was coy about what happened when he left the field in the first quarter.

"I had to come in here and get some stuff taken care of," he said.

The pains are accumulating for Brady, who came in with right shoulder and finger injuries. He threw two interceptions in the final 10 minutes, but Brady declined to blame health issues.

The latest injury occurred when Brady took a hit as he threw a 58-yard touchdown pass to Randy Moss. While Patriots teammates celebrated, Brady trotted off the field and kept going, vanishing through the tunnel.

He returned five minutes later, and following a Miami punt he was back in the game. Brady finished 19 for 29 for 352 yards and two scores.
