The New England Patriots’ offseason workout program begins Monday, and the team’s on-field leader reportedly will be a no-show.

Rapoport also reported Brady “may bulk up” and “should be a bit bigger” when he returns.

The Patriots have organized team activities practices from May 20 to June 11. Mandatory minicamp runs from June 4-6. Patriots training camp should begin in late July.
