Todd Bowles Makes Decision on Tom Brady Playing Preseason Against Colts

It looks like fans will finally get their first look at Tom Brady in game action for the Buccaneers this weekend.

Todd Bowles didn't outright say that Tom Brady will be starting at quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers when they face off against the Colts in Indianapolis this Saturday– in what will be their final preseason tune-up – but he definitely implied it.

When asked by a reporter earlier today, "Do you know if Brady is going to go on Saturday?" Bowles responded, "Everyone that's healthy, will play.".

It's been arguably the wildest offseason the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have ever seen as a franchise, and there's no denying that Tom Brady has been at the center of most of it. 

I imagine fans of the team are just fine with that though, because like I said, Tom Brady is at the center of it. Which ultimately means he is also under center for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 

And it appears as though fans will finally get their first chance to see Brady in game action, this Saturday. 

As Greg Auman pointed out, Brady has played in the final preseason game every year since 2009. So clearly this is something he himself believes to be a necessary step in terms of preparing for the regular season.

So how much will Tom Brady actually play in this final preseason game? A couple of series? A quarter? A half?

Based on how vague Todd Bowles was when asked about whether or not Brady will play at all, I think it's fair to assume we aren't going to get a clear answer to any of those questions. 

It looks like everyone will just need to tune in and watch the game, in order to find out.
