Up to this point there has not been much knowledge on the situation, but head coach Todd Bowles addressed the media following Thursday's joint practice with the Miami Dolphins regarding Brady's recent absence from practice. Bowles is expecting Brady to return to the team following the Buccaneers' second preseason game.
"He's going to deal with some personal things," Bowles said to the media on Thursday. "This is something we talked about before training camp started. We allotted this time because he wanted to get chemistry with the guys (in first two weeks)."
Bucs head coach says quarterback Tom Brady will be back after the Tennessee game, their second of the preseason. Says he has no concerns about the quarterbacks long term status and that this break was planned ahead of time.
