BOSTON – Tom Brady has faced criticism in recent days for holding workouts with his new Tampa Bay Buccaneers teammates despite coronavirus recommendations from health officials. The latest comes from Brady’s own player’s union.

Despite the recommendations, Brady continued to hold two-hour workouts with about a dozen teammates.
