When it was revealed in February that Tom Brady he was undergoing knee surgery because of an injury that would keep him out of the team’s activities until at least June, which caused some discomfort.
A 43-year-old quarterback undergoing knee surgery that will knock him unconscious for a few months is significant anyway. But fortunately, it looks like everything is going well with Brady’s recovery. “I talked to him last week,”GM Bucs Jason Licht said, via ESPN.com’s Jenna Laine. “I know that things are going well. I don’t want to set an exact schedule now because I don’t want to set expectations in one way or another, but I know that things are going very well. “
The injury was also apparently not out of the question for the team, and the procedure had been planned for a while. Brady had been planning to have the surgery for months, and the news “was not a surprise” for the Bucs, a source told Laine.
Licht also called it a “minor surgical procedure”, although it may not be that small if Bruce Arians was saying in February that he was hopeful Brady it could do a 7 against 7 job in June. Obviously, if there is anyone who doesn’t need a lot of time out of season, it’s Brady, but that will still be something to monitor, as the eternal wonder is set to turn 44 in August.
