Tom Brady appeal filed with Second Circuit, Patriots QB has chance to play in season opener

Just when you thought everyone was ready to accept the Arizona Cardinals opening at home against the New England Patriots with Tom Brady suspended, the NFLPA and the four-time Super Bowl winner have taken Deflategate another step foward.

The NFLPA filed an appeal with the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, requesting an en banc hearing regarding the four-game suspension Brady was given by the NFL. The suspension was originally overturned in federal court and then a three-judge panel in the Second Circuit set aside that overturning, reinstating the original suspension.
