We finally know what Tom Brady has been up to for the past two weeks.
Earlier this month, Brady decided to take a mysterious break from training camp, and according to Pro Football Network‘s Aaron Wilson, the Bucs QB spent the time away from football vacationing with his family.
League sources indicated Tom Brady's time away included a trip to the Bahamas at an exclusive resort and primarily for family time with his wife, Gisele Bündchen.

League sources indicated that Brady’s time away from the team included a trip to the Bahamas at an exclusive resort and primarily for family time with his wife, Gisele Bündchen. His commitment to family and having a personal life was at the heart of this hiatus from football, and there was no medical emergency, as speculated, or other reasons.
As important as football is to Brady, so is his family, and the Buccaneers have given him his space to be with them. Bowles emphasized that Brady not being with the team was planned and communicated. A league source said that Brady was definitely not expected to retire again and would fulfill his commitments to his coaches and teammates.
Bucs’ head coach has already told reporters that the team expects Brady back very soon, but it’s unclear if he’ll play in the final preseason game.
