After several detours along his road to recovery, Tom Brady has now begun rehabbing his multiple knee surgeries. According to reports, the All-Universe quarterback has been working out at Gillette Stadium with his teammates since last week.
Fans, media, and teammates alike are excited to see him back with the team and working out. It couldn't come at a better time either, as the Pats are scheduled to take on division (and lifetime) rival New York Jets on Thursday.

After going under the knife on Oct. 6 to repair his torn ACL, Brady suffered an infection in his knee. This infection forced him to have three more surgeries, and it is now expected to be under control.
However, this is just speculation based on his presence with the team; it is still unknown as to the actual status of his knee. In fact, the Patriots organization still has not disclosed Brady's exact knee injury, citing team policy.
In an interview this weekend, Patriots president Jonathan Kraft explained that Brady believed any communication with the media would be a distraction to the team, which is why he has chosen to stay out of the spotlight.
Class.

i honestly dont see the controversy with brady being on the sidelines or staying home...if he was on the sideline, he would be taking focus away from the game and acting as a distraction whether he liked it or not, not to mention the television reporters wouldve went nuts and probably would not have stopped talking about his knee, good stuff

Its a good feeling....a great feeling to know that Tom Brady is back with the team! You can tell in reading articles about it: Yahoo! Sports, USAToday, ESPN all said the same thing "When Tom Brady entered back into Gillette Stadium its as if the spirits of New England lifted" And it did! Especially when I saw the reports on ESPN
I'm so excited to see him back, however, he's not going to be in the huddle tomorrow evening vs. The Jets. Its nice to see Tom, but its back to the office when we hit the field.
I can see how media contact would be a distraction to the players, heck, it might be a distraction to you game. Think about how many times the football camera would take a shot of him after each play and talk about his injury.
I'm glad to see him back and hope for a speedy, yet successful recovery.
