Tom Brady returned to the Buccaneers Monday after an 11-day hiatus that confounded the NFL world.
However, the question remains: Why would Brady — widely considered one of the most dedicated athletes of his generation — take such a long break from training camp?
Brady and the Buccaneers have yet to explain the cause for his absence, aside from coach Todd Bowles saying it was “to deal with some personal things.”
But according to a report from Pro Football Network’s Aaron Wilson, Brady’s absence from the team included a vacation to the Bahamas. Wilson reported that Brady and his family, including his wife Gisele Bündchen, stayed at an exclusive resort in the Bahamas and that his break wasn’t for any medical emergency or family emergency.
