The 2022 season has just begun, and the Buccaneers are already facing a shortage of players. Last time, the Defense helped them have an upper hand. However, the situation has dramatically changed. A fragile offensive unit and Tom Brady missing the training sessions frequently have left the fans worried about their record this season. Meanwhile, the quarterback’s marital conflicts have got more clarity with these recent developments.

On Wednesday, Tom Brady missed the training sessions for non-injury-related issues. While most of the other players, including Mike Evans, Running Back Leonard Fournette, wide receiver Julio Jones, Russell Gage, and Chris Godwin, are out due to injuries. This has nearly stranded Todd Bowles’ aspirations for the upcoming weeks.
The Buccaneers will face the Saints on Sunday, one of the biggest rivalries in the NFC South, and half of the squad benched will affect the team’s performance on a large scale. NFL insider Adam Schefter released the injury report on Twitter. Although every other player had a valid reason to showcase, Brady’s non-injury-related issue raised many eyebrows.

Recently, Brady stayed away from the training camps for 11 days, citing personal reasons. Fans came up with the theory that he was having family time and was repairing the cracks between him and his wife, Gisele Bündchen. Moreover, in the recent episode of the Let’s go podcast, Brady mentioned that he had missed several crucial family occasions in the past 23 years of his career.

“I haven’t had a Christmas in 23 years, and I haven’t had a Thanksgiving in 23 years… I haven’t celebrated birthdays with people that I care about. And you know, I’m not able to be at funerals and I’m not able to be at weddings,” he explained by adding that it was time to move on.
