Tom Brady, the former quarterback who’s a Fox Sports broadcaster and Las Vegas Raiders minority owner, got the OK to join production meetings with teams and their coaches.

Last season, Brady’s first as a broadcaster, he was banned from the production meetings for the regular season and most of the playoffs due to his status as a minority owner of an NFL team. The rules were suspended for Super Bowl LIX, which Brady called alongside Kevin Burkhardt, according to The Athletic.

Now Brady will be allowed in the meetings to glean insights offered by teams and coaches that he can share on Fox broadcasts, so long as the meetings are held virtually or over video call. 

“The ability to join and be able to talk to a coach, coordinators or players and help him prepare for his job was one that felt like a natural step forward,” NFL Executive Vice President of Media Distribution Hans Schroeder told The Associated Press.

Brady “may attend production meetings remotely but may not attend in person at the team facility or hotel. He may also conduct an interview off-site with a player like he did last year a couple times, including for the Super Bowl,” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy told Front Office Sports.

Part of the “Brady Rules” are still in place. He’s not allowed at practices or in a team’s training complex.
