PITTSBURGH, July 20 (UPI) -- Tom Brady won't take a snap for the first four games of the 2016 season and DeAngelo Williams is pretty excited about it.

"I am glad they [New England Patriots] got problems. I don't care," the Pittsburgh Steelers running back told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "Everybody has their problems, and I am glad they have theirs."

Last week, Brady agreed to finally accept the DeflateGate penalty levied by the NFL. He will miss games against the Arizona Cardinals, Miami Dolphins, Houston Texans, and Buffalo Bills. The Patriots face the Steelers week 7 in a matchup at 4:25 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 23.

Williams, 33, had a revival season last year in Pittsburgh, stepping in for an injured Le'Veon Bell. He rushed for 907 yards and four touchdowns and had 40 receptions for 367 yards.

ESPN's Mike Reiss reported last week that he expects Brady to still get first-team reps during Patriots training camp.
