Tom Brady will miss multiple days of Buccaneers training camp as he deals with a personal matter
Brady was not seen on the field as practice began on Thursday, his second excused absence of the week andAfter the session, Tampa Bay coach Todd Bowles told reporters that Brady is set to be away from the team through next week to deal with the personal situation. He will not return until after the team’s second preseason game at the Titans on Saturday, Aug. 20.
“He’ll be back sometime around Tennessee,” Bowles said. “He’s gonna deal with some personal things. This is something we talked about before training camp started. We allotted this time because he wanted to get in and get chemistry with the guys and go through two weeks of training camp knowing he wasn’t going to play the first two games.
“He didn’t want to take away reps from Blaine and Kyle and as well as Griff as far as going into these next two games. It’s something he needs to handle, we trust him, we talked about it. It was scheduled way before training camp, and he will not be here until after Tennessee.”The news comes ahead of the Buccaneers’ first preseason game, against the Dolphins, on Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. ET. Brady was not expected to play in the game, even before Thursday’s news.
In his absence, Tampa Bay turns to veteran Blaine Gabbert, second-year quarterback Kyle Trask and longtime Bucs backup Ryan Griffin to handle the position.
