NFL Breaks Silence on Tom Brady Rules, Confirms He's Banned From 1 Role

Brady Will Be Allowed in Production Meetings

On Tuesday, Sept. 2 the NFL confirmed Brady will be allowed to take part in production meetings while speaking with players and coaches virtually.

"Brady can participate virtually when it comes to speaking with coaches and players. Traditional production meetings take place either in person at a hotel or facility (preferred) and virtually," media insider Richard Deitsch revealed.

Brady admitted he believes he should have been allowed in production meetings last season as well.

“I think me asking questions in a production meeting is no different than a media member asking a question in a weekly press conference. They’re gonna answer it the same way. It’s nice for my crew to have me involved because, as a cohesive unit, and what we’re trying to do, that’s going to be a real positive,” he said.

Brady Still Banned From 1 Role

While he's allowed to speak with the players and coaches this season, he's still banned from one activity that most other analysts are allowed to partake in. According to the NFL, the seven-time Super Bowl champion isn't allowed at the home team's practice facility.

Deitsch revealed every other analyst he's aware of is allowed to visit practice ahead of the game.
