FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- In his first public comments since his return from a four-game NFL suspension, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady confirmed his presence at Gillette Stadium on Monday while looking ahead to his first regular-season action Sunday at the Cleveland Browns.It was great to be back in the building. It was certainly great to be back to work, Brady said during his weekly interview on Westwood One. Its been a long four weeks for me, but Im excited to get started on my preparation for Cleveland. Im anxious for the week ahead. I want to get back out on the practice field. This is what I love to do, and now I have an opportunity to do it.Earlier Monday, several of Bradys teammates said they hadnt seen him, which was part of a team-wide theme that the quarterbacks return couldnt be viewed as a cure-all for the Patriots disappointing performance in Sundays 16-0 loss to the Buffalo Bills.Teammates stressed that while it is great to have Brady returning to the team, they all had to focus on individual improvement. That was also a theme Brady focused on for himself during his Westwood One interview.Im going to take it day to day. I havent played in four weeks, he told host Jim Gray when asked his expectations for his NFL return. My teammates have been working their butts off, and thats what they expect of me.

We know what type of player hes been for this team, the type of leader hes been, but all that being said, we still have a job to do with him here now, special-teams captain Matthew Slater said. Were excited to have Thomas back, but our responsibility and our jobs are still the same. ... Everybody has to do better. I dont think we were good enough in anything we did yesterday, and Buffalo was clearly the better team, and they outplayed us.Not long before Brady returned to work, the NFL Players Association announced that it would no longer pursue legal options against the NFL over Deflategate, a topic Brady wasnt interested in delving into Monday night.Im not really looking to reflect at this point. I put that in the rearview mirror when I decided a while ago [to not appeal], Brady said on West
