Tom Brady will play in the New England Patriots' third preseason game against the Carolina Panthers, according to a report.

Brady is traveling to Carolina with the team. He didn't play in either of New England's first two preseason games.

It is unknown if Brady or Jimmy Garoppolo will start the game at this point.

Brady will serve a four-game suspension to begin the regular season as the team turns to Garoppolo as its starter. This will mark the first season since 2001 that a quarterback other than Brady starts the regular-season opener for the Patriots.
