Tom Brady Reportedly Excused from Bucs Practice 'to Attend to a Personal Matter'

Tampa Bay Buccaneers star Tom Brady was excused from Friday's training-camp practice to handle a personal matter.

Myles Simmons of Pro Football Talk reported Brady's absence from the session.

Backups Blaine Gabbert and Kyle Trask assumed the reins of the Bucs offense.

Brady rarely misses any game action, starting every possible regular season and playoff game in the past five years. The last time he didn't play in a game was because of a suspension in 2016, while the last game missed with an injury was when he tore his ACL in 2008.

The quarterback has still dealt with various ailments, including a knee injury suffered in 2020 that required offseason surgery.
