In 2018, the five-time Super Bowl MVP injured his right hand and required stitches just three days before the AFC title game.
Although there was much concern, Tom wore a protective glove during practice and press conferences. Luckily, the injury didn't affect his playing ability since he led the New England Patriots to victory against the Jacksonville Jaguars and helped secure their spot in the Super Bowl LII.

Ahead of the big game, Tom spoke with the media about his injury and revealed his Under Armour glove had "a lot of recovery in it." OK, it doesn't make sense that wearing a glove would help someone heal an injury, but the 15-time Pro Bowler continued to open up about what the glove did for him.
"They sent it to me a few weeks ago," Tom told reporters, per Eagles Wire. "It has this bioceramic technology in it that is great for recovery. I wear it even when I sleep. For me, obviously, my hand is very important, so the better it can feel, that’s the way I want it to be when I am out there."
