Federal Judge Richard Berman has negated Tom Brady’s four-game suspension to begin the 2015-2016 NFL season.

According to ESPN.com, the NFL has appealed the decision, and the case will therefore be sent to the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Because the NFL did not request an “emergency stay” in the appeal, Brady will be allowed to play in the Patriots’ season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday, September 10, as well as other games this season while the case is being heard.
