Tom Brady will be away from the Buccaneers through at least next weekend, after being excused from Thursday’s joint practice with the Dolphins. The team has not revealed why the legendary quarterback is away from the team, other than that it is a “personal matter.”
Pro Bowl linebacker Devin White was asked about Brady’s absence after Thursday’s session, and assured fans and the media that the team is behind him. He has no doubts about Brady’s ability to prepare for the season while away from practice.
“He’s a human at the end of the day,” White said. “He’s got personal problems going on, but he’s a guy that he’s been doing it for so long, he don’t need to be here. If he’s not here, we know he’s still working. He’s got a great supporting cast around him, and he’s going to get his work in whether he’s here or not here.
