Tom Brady is being criticized for taking some time to practice throws while one of his teammates was seriously injured on the field.

During the third quarter of the Bucs-Steelers game, Bucs tight end Cam Brate took a scary hit to the head.

Before the cart came out for Brate, Brady was seen practicing his throws with a Bucs assistant while players stood around in prayer.

Brady was instantly criticized by fans.

this is very weird behavior. I’m never seen a QB or any player for that matter be on the field (throwing) while their teammate was down and hurt.

When Shazier was injured, Ben wasn’t on the field tossing the ball to “keep his arm warm” https://t.co/yzDGp3YbOg
