With eyes on a Super Bowl, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have seen their summer derailed by injuries. Now, another obstacle lies in their path.
Superstar quarterback Tom Brady is taking a brief step away from the team for personal reasons. Brady missed practice on Thursday and will not be with the Buccaneers for their preseason contest against the Tennessee Titans on Aug. 20.
It’s not yet known what has caused this absence, but until necessary, fans and bettors alike should not be overly concerned. FanDuel‘s +800 odds for Brady to win an MVP in his (potentially) final season remain a fairly safe bet, even if he misses Week 1.
