Tom Brady (shoulder/finger) back at Buccaneers practice, 'feels great'

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady (shoulder/finger) returned to practice on Thursday.

What It Means:

Brady was held out of Wednesday's practice for maintenance, but he returned a day later and answered questions about his shoulder. “Feels great. Thanks for asking. I’ll be there Sunday.” Coming off back-to-back losses, Brady and the Buccaneers are nearly double-digit favorites in Week 5 at home against the Atlanta Falcons.

Brady is the QB5 in numberFire's Week 5 rankings and our models project him for 19.8 FanDuel points. Through four weeks, the Falcons are 23rd in the league in FanDuel points allowed per game to the quarterback position. However, Atlanta ranks 15th against the pass in our advanced team metrics, compared to 27th versus the run, so the Bucs may opt to focus more on the ground game.
