Last week, Todd Bowles declared Brady will not attend 10 days of practice.

But why did Tom Brady take 10-days' leave was unclear.

[{"selector":"#anim-88c5756c-1e42-4a95-acdc-96524a0444a8 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(20.184585311309203%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-35e89002-9984-4c0d-9d01-ead13334be05","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9f9a5039-7f71-4605-bf69-43240b4c77f8","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 282.55980%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

That's why many started speculation about Brady's personal life.

According to Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer, this wasn't a last-minute decision by Brady.

He also added Brady's 10-day excused absence was pre-planned.

Perhaps Tom Brady was planning some big family vacation this week when he was retired.

Then he un-retired but didn't want to disappoint his family and call the vacation off.

It is expected that Brady is will return to Tampa Bay sometime next week.
