Overview

• During Monday Night Football, ESPN reported that Chip Kelly told the network he talks with Brady two to three times a week to review film and game plans.
• Kelly clarified Thursday that they do not discuss weekly game plans, describing offseason Zooms and general football talks, and said Brady did not communicate with coaches while seated in the booth.
• NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy said owners are permitted in coaches’ booths and on headsets, and reiterated that Brady may join production meetings remotely but remains barred from team facilities and practices.
• The league approved Brady’s roughly 5% Raiders stake last October, prompting tailored restrictions to balance his ownership with his role as Fox’s lead NFL analyst.
• Views across the league differ — Jerry Jones said he is not concerned, Antonio Pierce suggested Brady could share “tidbits” — and there has been no public indication of an NFL investigation.
