Earlier this month, a source close to the star athlete told PEOPLE that he is not injured and is just taking personal time away from training. According to Tampa Bay head coach Todd Bowles, Brady and the rest of the team discussed his absence before they started practice in July.
“We’re taking this time because he wants to come in and get some chemistry with the guys and go through two weeks of training camp, knowing he’s not going to play the first two games,” he explained.
“He didn’t want to take a representative from Blaine [Gabbert] and Kyle [Trask] as well as Griff [Ryan Griffin] as far as going into these next two games,” Bowles continued. “And it’s something he’s going to have to handle.”
