"I don't think we need to list the coaches on the injury report," Belichick said when asked about the injury.
The next day, Belichick still didn't offer an explanation, but he had fun trolling the media:
Belichick strolled thru the locker room with a pair of boxing gloves in his hands. I am not joking. Repeat. Not joking
