Exhale, New England Patriots fans, quarterback Tom Brady is on the field for the team’s morning practice after missing Wednesday’s session due to illness.
Brady reported to team headquarters early Wednesday but after learning he was ill, the Patriots requested he skip practice and avoid spreading the bug to teammates before a weekend trip to Denver for the AFC Championship game.
Brady was back in Foxborough, Mass., early Thursday and was scheduled to meet media after the session ended, just before 1 p.m. ET.
If Brady and the Patriots get the best of Peyton Manning for the 11th time in 15 meetings, the Pro Bowl quarterback will become the first to appear in six Super Bowls.
