When playing the Atlanta Falcons last Sunday. The 45-year-old quarterback took a hit from behind. Catching him off guard and he went to the ground holding his right shoulder. The player looked like he was in terrible pain and even lost the ball. Slow to get from his position, it raised a lot of concern for the player’s condition moving on from the matchup. However, it has been confirmed that Brady was present for the Wednesday practice session.
Update on Tom Brady
According to journalist Rick Stroud, TB12 was in attendance for this week’s Wednesday practice. While the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are preparing for their next game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Their QB1 will probably be available to start the proceedings on Sunday. Recently, his discomfort with the shoulder was speculated to be more serious, just as the hit appeared to be.
However, the player participating in the practice session, suggest otherwise. It seems whatever pain he was feeling last week was not enough to cause any serious harm to his throwing ability. And if any questions remain, his performance will clarify itself.
Other Updates
On the other hand, Julio Jones, the recent addition to the receiving corps of the Bucs, remains missing from the training. He is recovering from a knee injury. While the offense is still not looking on point. And the pressure falls solely on the defense. The veteran wideout would be a much-welcomed option for the team.
