Tom Brady was about one hour late to practice on Thursday following the birth of his daughter, but Bill Belichick said he's been just as reliable otherwise.

“He was like an hour late coming in the day after, but otherwise good,” Belichick said. “We met (Friday), and I think he’s right on top of everything like he usually is, as far as his preparation. We met, went over (the Texans’) scheme and their players, adjustments, things we expected the Texans to do and so forth. He seemed right on top of it to me like he usually is.”
