TOM Brady again defied coronavirus safety advice to practice with his Tampa Bay Buccaneers teammates, despite the fact that two players recently tested positive for the virus.

After getting flack for practicing with teammates on Tuesday after the athletes were warned about health risks, Brady shared a photo of himself at practice again to his Instagram story, along with a motivational quote from FDR: "Only thing we have to fear, is fear itself."

Despite Brady's uplifting quote, many in Florida do fear the coronavirus - especially as the number of cases in the state continues to rise.

Florida has seen a steady increase in cases throughout the month of June, hitting its peak since the beginning of the outbreak on Wednesday with more than 5,500 new recorded cases, according to the New York Times.

Earlier this week, the NFL Players Association Medical Director Dr Thom Mayer released a statement urging players to stop "practicing together" until training camps open in late July.

"Please be advised that it is our consensus medical opinion that in light of the increase in COVID-19 cases in certain states that no players should be engaged in practicing together in private workouts," he wrote.
