The NFL is relaxing some of its restrictions surrounding Tom Brady in his role as a Fox broadcaster, including allowing him to attend production meetings this season.
Brady, who is also a partial owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, will have to attend the production meetings -- when a broadcast crew meets with that game's head coaches and key players -- remotely and that he will still not be allowed to attend practices at team facilities.
Brady would be allowed to interview players off-site.
"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," Hans Schroeder, the NFL's executive vice president of media distribution, told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
