Buccaneers’ Tom Brady confirms he had Covid-19 after Super Bowl parade

• Brady, 44, said he had Covid-19 after Bucs won Super Bowl
• Tampa Bay kick off NFL title defense on Thursday at home

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady confirmed to the Tampa Bay Times that he tested positive Covid-19 in February, shortly after the team's boat parade to celebrate their Super Bowl LV championship.

Brady, who has since been vaccinated, told the newspaper that he has concerns about how the league will handle the pandemic in the coming season, which kicks off Thursday when the Buccaneers host the Dallas Cowboys, and believes it could be an even bigger story than in 2020.
