The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be getting Tom Brady back this week, head coach Todd Bowles confirmed Sunday. Bowles said Brady will be back “this week early,” coinciding with the timeline the head coach said when Brady left the team for personal reasons on Aug. 11.
While there have been theories on Brady’s disappearance, Brady didn’t leave the team for health or family reasons.
“This is something we talked about before training camp started,” Bowles said when Brady had his excused absence. “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 (preseason) games.”
Bucs’ QB Tom Brady is expected to return to the team, per a source, “very shortly.” Brady left the team earlier this month for personal reasons.
