Pascal Siakam Raptors Jersey . -- Hes baaack.And minus a surprise setback Sunday against Buffalo, its almost like Tom Brady never left.Despite being without their franchise centerpiece for the past month while he served his four-game Deflategate suspension, the New England Patriots welcome Brady back on Monday 3-1 after a 16-0 loss to the Bills.When Brady returns to the Patriots facilities, it will put an official stamp on the 21-month odyssey that has hovered over the franchise since an NFL investigation concluded the Patriots intentionally underinflated footballs used in the AFC Championship game on Jan. 18, 2015.A federal judge initially overturned the suspension, allowing Brady to play last season, but an appeals court reinstated it this spring. Prior to training camp in July, Brady announced he would end his legal challenges and accept the leagues punishment.The NFL won that fight, but with a nearly unblemished start to 2016, the Patriots have barely missed a beat.Thats not to say they havent had their trials. New England won games it wasnt expected to and watched the balance of the AFC East struggle to keep up. It did it all with a roster that has had its issues with health at key positions.As much as the team has rallied behind Brady understudies Jimmy Garoppolo and Jacoby Brissett the past month, there is also no denying the eagerness in the Patriots locker room to see No. 12 back in uniform.Its going to be great, receiver Julian Edelman said. Its one of your best players on the team. A guy that leads us. ... Anytime one of your best players isnt there, theres something missing.The wait is now over.A recap of the Patriots month without Brady:---THE REPLACEMENTS: Neither Garoppolo nor Brissett had made an NFL regular-season start prior to this season. Garoppolo made his debut a memorable one , throwing for 264 yards and a touchdown in New Englands 23-21 road win over the Arizona Cardinals.Garoppolo was having an even better outing against the Miami Dolphins at home the following week, throwing three touchdown passes, before being knocked out of the game in the second quarter after having his right shoulder slammed into the turf. Brissett took over and helped the Patriots hold on for a 31-24 win .With Garoppolos shoulder still sore, Brissett ran for a touchdown the following week in his first career start in a 27-0 win over the Houston Texans. He tweaked his right thumb in the second half but recovered enough to start Sunday against the Bills, which ended in his first career loss.GRONKS SLOW START: Rob Gronkowski hasnt been himself since suffering a hamstring injury late during training camp. He missed the first two games of the season and has played sparingly since. But he finally broke through with his first reception of the season late in Sundays loss. He, too, is looking forward to having Bradys presence back in the huddle. I mean, I dont even have to answer that, Gronkowski said when asked about Bradys impact. Youve got to give hats off to Jacoby going out there. Much respect to him going out there and doing what he did (Sunday) as a rookie, so hats off to our quarterbacks. They did a tremendous job the first four weeks and obviously its exciting to get Tom back.INJURIES: Along with the quarterbacks and Gronk, the Patriots continue to deal with a handful of injuries at key positions. Linebacker Donta Hightower has been slowed by a knee issue, and guard Jonathan Cooper has yet to play because of a foot issue.NINKOVICH RETURNS: Brady isnt the only player the Patriots get back Monday. Defensive end Rob Ninkovich also returns after he received a four-game ban for violating the NFLs policy on performance enhancing substances. But there is still a question of how healthy he is after suffering a triceps injury that sidelined him early during training camp.BLOUNT TO THE RESCUE: Running back LeGarrette Blount was a saving grace for New Englands offense with Brady out. Through three games, he was leading the NFL in rushing with a 99.3 yards per game average. His efforts earned him the AFCs offensive player of the month award for September. He finished with just 54 yards against Buffalo, but should help take the early pressure off Brady as he eases back in.UP NEXT: Bradys first taste of the 2016 regular season will be at Cleveland on Sunday. He returns to Gillette Stadium on Oct. 16 when the Patriots host the Bengals.---AP NFL website:
