After taking a brief 11-day timeout from the training sessions, Tom Brady returned after the team’s second preseason game. But again, he pulled out of Wednesday’s training session for non-injury reasons.

NFL insider shared the injury updates on Twitter with a list of benched players in Buccaneers training camp. Most of the offensive unit is out with hamstring and calf injuries.

Players like Mike Evans had limited participation on Wednesday due to calf strain. Running Back Leonard Fournette suffered a hamstring injury, and several others on the list are also injured. However, Tom Brady was marked absent with non-injury-related issues.

Previously, he had mentioned that a lot of stuff was going on in his life, and he was not a young athlete anymore. His priorities as a 45-year-old family man have changed.
