Per Brady, he has planned for it for several months now. Though it affects his schedule, he opts to hold informal workouts this year to make small progress.

The upcoming 2021 NFL season will be his second year with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers since he first signed up in 2020. He previously played with New England Patriots for two decades.
