TAMPA, Fla. -- Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is expected to play in Saturday's third and final preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts.
Coach Todd Bowles did not say it outright, but when asked Thursday if Brady will play, he responded, "Everyone who is healthy will play."
Brady, who returned this week from an 11-day absence to tend to "personal issues," is healthy and practiced in full Thursday, as well as Monday and Tuesday, with a veteran day on Wednesday. He took his usual number of reps and looked strong and focused.
