At 45 years old, Tom Brady is being given a weekly rest day by the Buccaneers for the rest of the season, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. The veteran will have Wednesdays off for the rest of the year and take mental reps while backup Blaine Gabbert will get reps on first- and second-down day.
Brady has taken Thursdays off in the past but the uniformity has reportedly been granted to him after a rough Week 1 performance. During the latest episode of the Let’s Go! with Tom Brady, Larry Fitzgerald and Jim Gray, Brady shared how he was feeling on the first Monday after the Week 1 win over the Cowboys.
