Tom Brady Unlikely To Play vs. Green Bay Packers

According to Stacey Dales of NFL Network, Tom Brady is unlikely to play tomorrow versus the Green Bay Packers. This doesn’t come as a surprise, given that Brady rarely plays in the first game, and he is in court today, but this “confirmation” of sorts is nice going forward.

Per talks w multiple sources who know Belichick, Brady highly expected NOT 2 play v.GB, based on BBs long tradition of being at prax to play

With Brady out, expect Jimmy Garoppolo to receive a lot of playing time tomorrow, not only out of need (because he is one of two quarterbacks that will play), but also because there is still a chance he will be the starting quarterback on opening day.
