The NFL will appeal Judge Richard Berman’s decision to erase Tom Brady’s four-game suspension, but they reportedly won’t be trying to keep Brady off the field against the Steelers next week.
According to multiple reports, the league will not seek a stay of Berman’s ruling as part of their appeal. If they tried for and were granted a stay by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, Brady’s suspension would remain in place pending a decision by that court.
With no stay, Brady will be free to play until and unless that decision comes back affirming the league’s right to suspend Brady.
