ESPN.com's Tim Graham is in Foxborough to report on Tom Brady's day at Patriots practice. Blog
Brady stretched and threw the ball around in a light rain for the third and final day of the Patriots' organized team activities -- the only one open to the media.
"There's a little bit of rust for all of us. Thank God the season's still a few months away," Brady told a crush of reporters. "When you sit on the sidelines for an entire year, you realize how much you miss it."
Brady tore the ligaments in his left knee in the 2008 season opener and missed the rest of the season. He had surgery in October and later had another procedure to treat an infection in the knee, but he said he expects to be ready to play this season.
The two-time Super Bowl MVP wore long sweat pants covering the brace on the knee.
"Nobody likes to do rehab, but I'm glad to be back doing football stuff," he said. "This is the part I enjoy most."

Meanwhile, Brady said there's no baby on the way for him and his wife, supermodel wife Gisele Bundchen.
Brady married Bundchen this winter in a pair of ceremonies in Costa Rica and California. RadarOnline.com reported last week that Bundchen is pregnant.
After practice on Thursday, the quarterback talked about the importance of a wife and "children." But when reporters asked Brady, who has a son with actress Bridget Moynahan, whether another child was on the way, Brady shook his head and said, "No."
"One is enough," Brady said.
