New reports came out which show Tom Brady taking a leave every Wednesday throughout the season. It comes after TB12’s name being in the second week-injury report. Fortunately, it was not injury related. The quarterback will finally receive the veteran’s treatment in what could be the final run of his career.
Ian Rapoport addressed the situation on NFL.com, “The Buccaneers quarterback took Wednesday off this past week, with it listed as a rest day. Sources informed of the team’s plans say for the first time in his illustrious career, Brady will receive the same designation every Wednesday of the season.”

A user called that this is becoming strange. They are one or two terrible games away from him being called a sideshow, which he never believed was plausible.
This is getting weird now. We’re one or two bad games away from him being considered a distraction; which I never thought would be possible.
