Reports: Tom Brady Expected To Play In Patriots-Titans Despite Illness

New England Patriots fans can breath a deep sigh of relief. Their quarterback reportedly is fine.

Tom Brady is expected to play Sunday against the Tennessee Titans despite missing practice Friday with an illness, a source told the Boston Herald’s Jeff Howe. ESPN’s Mike Reiss reported the illness “shouldn’t affect his availability for Sunday’s game, barring an unexpected turn.”

Brady, tight end Rob Gronkowski and center Bryan Stork also missed practice Friday. Gronkowski’s absence is related to a personal issue. It’s unknown why Stork wasn’t available to participate.

Both Gronkowski and Stork had their chairs folded up by their lockers, indicating they hadn’t been at the facility. Brady’s chair was unfolded, so it appears he had been at Gillette Stadium on Friday.
