A person with knowledge of the operation says Tom Brady has undergone surgery on his right foot.

The surgery for a stress fracture took place on Thursday, and the New England Patriots quarterback ''is doing good,'' the person said on condition of anonymity because an official announcement had not been made by the team.

Comcast SportsNet New England is reporting that a screw was inserted in the navicular bone, one of the small bones on the mid-foot located at the instep.

Brady was listed on the Patriots' injury report with a foot injury for the last eight regular-season games and a playoff game, a 28-21 loss to the New York Jets.

Brady led the NFL in passer rating, touchdown passes (36) and fewest interceptions (four). He also threw for 3,900 yards.
