Tom Brady Hiatus: Some Ominous Reports Are Coming Out About Buccaneers QB’s Recent Break From Training Camp

It still feels like there’s something Tom Brady doesn’t want us knowing about his recent break from Training Camp.

This week, TB12 return to Bucs practice, but it’s still not clear what he was tending to that led to him being excused for 11 days with the season right around the corner.

Earlier in the week, the reports were that Brady took his family to The Bahamas to create a work/life balance prior to the season.

Via Pro Football Network:

“League sources indicated that Brady’s time away from the team included a trip to the Bahamas at an exclusive resort and primarily for family time with his wife, Gisele Bündchen. His commitment to family and having a personal life was at the heart of this hiatus from football, and there was no medical emergency, as speculated, or other reasons.

As important as football is to Brady, so is his family, and the Buccaneers have given him his space to be with them. Bowles emphasized that Brady not being with the team was planned and communicated. A league source said that Brady was definitely not expected to retire again and would fulfill his commitments to his coaches and teammates.”

Today, though, Buccaneers reporter Rick Stroud maintained that there was more to Tom Brady’s recent break than what meets the eye.

“It’s not a vacation, let’s put it that way,” Stroud said Monday on “The Dan Patrick Show.” “Was it necessary for him to be with his family? I think so. Did they have it planned before training camp? Yeah, they would have. But it wasn’t as if like, ‘Hey, I was out and we made these great family plans before school starts and we’re going to stay committed to that.’ I do think that at 45, having played 22 years, he knows what he has to do in training camp to get ready. There’s still three weeks before the start of the regular season if you count the week leading up to the Dallas game.

“So, this was all kind of built in. But like I said, I think we’ll find out the reason here, whether Brady announces it or it just gets out that it’s personal and he’ll talk about it when he’s ready to.”

For now, Tom Brady has not spoken about where he was or what he was doing during his hiatus. But for Bucs fans, they can find some solace in knowing the GOAT is back at practice.

Perhaps we’ll hear more details shortly.
