What It Means:

In typical Patriots' fashion, details are cloudy, but Brady, who missed last week's preseason game with a thumb laceration, missed the last two days of practice for personal, non-injury reasons.

Brady finished fourth among passers with 100-plus drop backs in Passing Net Expected Points per dropback in 2015. Accounting for his four-game suspension, our models project Brady to complete 311 of his 488 pass attempts for 3,618 yards and 25.01 touchdowns with 8.62 interceptions this season.
