Tom Brady expected to return to Bucs Monday after extended absence from training camp
TAMPA – Tom Brady's hiatus from Buccaneers training camp is coming to an end soon.
The former Patriots (and apparently almost Raiders) quarterback stepped away from his preparations with Tampa Bay earlier this month for personal reasons.
Head coach Todd Bowles said at the time Brady would be away until after the team's preseason game against the Titans, which took place Saturday. But Bowles then said Thursday he didn't know a firm date when Brady would be back, which raised some eyebrows in the football world.
On Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that Brady is expected to be back with the Bucs "very shortly."
Bowles said on Sunday that Brady will be back this week, but didn't provide an exact day. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network added that Brady is expected to be in the building on Monday.
Brady has gone radio silent during his absence, and the Bucs have not provided any additional information about why the quarterback was away for nearly two weeks.
