TAMPA, Fla. ― The two most prominent faces of the Bucs franchise were either absent or not practicing Wednesday.
Head coach Todd Bowles took the day off for personal reasons, leaving assistant head coach Harold Goodwin to run practice. The team expects Bowles to return on Thursday.
Quarterback Tom Brady, who injured his shoulder in Sunday’s 41-31 loss to the Chiefs, did not practice Wednesday. Also out were tight end Cameron Brate (concussion), safety Logan Ryan (foot) and defensive tackle Akiem Hicks (foot).
