Brady Set To Play Saturday Versus Houston

If you want to see Tom Brady you likely won’t have to wait much longer to see one of the greatest quarterbacks of all-time.

Jeff Howe of the Boston Herald reports that the team is expected to have Brady start the pre-season game versus the Houston Texans on Saturday night, barring a last minute change. Brady missed the first game as Jimmy Garoppolo and Jacoby Brissett got the reps versus Jacksonville.

Other news out of Pats’ camp on Friday included the note that 2017 third round pick Derek Rivers tore his ACL and sprained his LCL during practice this week, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The team is looking for a second opinion before the defensive end has season ending surgery on his leg.

The Patriots will play the Texans at 8 p.m. on Saturday night and you can hear love coverage of the action starting with the pre-game show at 5 p.m.
