Is TB12 missing? There are a bunch of stories on ESPN right now implying that.
If so, I suspect Jacoby Brissett.

His teammates may not have seen him yet, but I can assure you that Tom Brady is here @GilletteStadium. He just gave me a quick wave.
Very well done sirHe just had to catch up on all the unread emails in his Inbox.

They have a roster exemption on him until Monday I believe. He will obviously be added before that but how can a guy who hasn't been added to the roster do a press conference?Mike Reiss @MikeReiss 2m2 minutes ago
Media note: Present plan is for Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski to take the place of the traditional QB news conference on Wednesday (11:45 a.m.)
I had a hamstring 'tweak' that really bothered me for over a year.I've never heard of a hamstring "tweak" that's lasted this long. There's something else wrong with him that we don't know about, I think.

If this lasts much longer I am going to start believing the contract conspiracies.I've never heard of a hamstring "tweak" that's lasted this long. There's something else wrong with him that we don't know about, I think.
Didn't Manny have a tweeked hammy for the majority of his career?I've never heard of a hamstring "tweak" that's lasted this long. There's something else wrong with him that we don't know about, I think.
I pulled my right hamstring five times, it bothered me no longer than two weeks each time, not two months.If this lasts much longer I am going to start believing the contract conspiracies.
You did? Well, then, I'm convinced.I pulled my right hamstring five times, it bothered me no longer than two weeks each time, not two months.
Something more is going on here.
And I've pulled my hamstring twice as well, and had to take 3-4 weeks off from running and when I did run again, it felt like I would pull it again if I pushed myself.I pulled my right hamstring five times, it bothered me no longer than two weeks each time, not two months.

Ok, let me add as much as your post added.Thanks for chiming in.
I'm pretty sure "pulled", "torn", "strained" are really all the same thing and each are used to describe injuries spanning a wide range of severities. A muscle is a bunch of fibers. When you place too much stress on it, you tear some; if you're unlucky, your tear a lot of them.Chuck Liddell pulled a hamstring before a fight but felt good enough to train and fight with it, calling the injury "manageable". Near the end of his training camp, his kicking/striking coach (who heard the initial pop) convinced the UFC and Nevada Athletic Board to give him a pre-fight physical, which he failed. He strongly objected, but the UFC canceled his fight. Here is his hamstring:
Despite initial reports, it was actually torn, not pulled.
Obviously these are two completely different sports which require different types of muscle use. But the point is a "hamstring injury" can mean plenty of different things. And everybody's pain tolerance is different. And let's not forget that Jeff Howe initially said that Gronk's injury consisted of "bruising". It could have been a partial tear just like Liddell's injury. I don't think anything funny is going on. It was probably just worse than originally reported and is taking longer to heal.
