Legendary quarterback Tom Brady has found himself in the middle of a controversy surrounding his dual role in the NFL. The seven-time Super Bowl champion is a part-owner of the Las Vegas Raiders and serves as a Fox Sports panelist.

According to NFL insider Adam Schefter, the league has banned the former Patriots QB from the Raiders' practices.

"NFL announced today that Tom Brady, a minority owner with the Raiders and a broadcaster for Fox, is “prohibited from going to a team facility for practices or production meetings.” But he is allowed to sit in the coaches’ booth, per the league," Schefter wrote.

Tom Brady, who has a 10-year, $375 million deal with Fox, has been spotted in the Las Vegas coaching box this season. The three-time NFL MVP already had multiple restrictions, and now he is not allowed to enter the team facility for practices or production meetings.

Pete Carroll shuts down reports of meetings with Tom Brady

After rumors of Tom Brady assisting offensive coordinator Chip Kelly started circulating on the internet, Raiders coach Pete Carroll dismissed those reports, labeling them as "regular talk" only.

"We have conversations. I talk to Tom, Chip talks to Tom regularly," Carroll said. "We have a tremendous asset. And we all get along and respect each other. We just talk about life and football. He has great insight, so we're lucky to have him as an owner."

Brady will be in the booth for the Dallas Cowboys vs. Chicago Bears fixture next week. Caleb Williams' team will take on the Raiders in the following week. This is probably the reason behind the NFL stepping in and banning Brady from the team practices.
