We finally learned the reason for Tom Brady's hiatus!
Tom Brady is back! (Again...)
«Personal reasons» has been the explanation for Brady's two weeks absence and the only added information is that those reasons do not have to do with his health or the health of any family member. Brady will field questions about his mid-August break whenever he next meets with the media, although it's not clear if that will bring any further details to light.
The Buccaneers have said that Brady's absence was pre-planned and head coach Todd Bowles has downplayed any worry about the missed time on multiple occasions over the last couple of weeks.
However, Pro Football network reported the reason why Brady was absent.
As important as football is to Brady, so is his family, and the Buccaneers have given him his space to be with them. Bowles emphasized that Brady not being with the team was planned and communicated. A league source said that Brady was definitely not expected to retire again and would fulfill his commitments to his coaches and teammates.»
This is interesting. I mean, of course, family time is the most important thing in the world. However, I can't help but wonder why Brady did not plan this vacation during the summer instead of during training camp. I'm sure he will still be on top of things as soon as he gets back with the team!
