Brady has been bothered by an Achilles injury and has been held out practices the past few weeks but hadn't missed two in a row. Still, the 40-year-old quarterback will play Monday, according to Jeff Howe of the Boston Herald.
After practicing indoors in Foxboro on Wednesday, the Patriots went back outside on Thursday. Cornerback Malcolm Butler, who missed practice Wednesday for an unspecified reason, was back at practice. Defensive end Deatrich Wise, linebacker Kyle Van Noy (calf) and right tackle Marcus Cannon (ankle) remained out.
