Lawyers for the NFL and the NFL Players Association were back in federal court to discuss a settlement of Tom Brady's Deflategate suspension, according to a Reuters report.
More from Reuters:
The two sides were meeting privately in New York with U.S. District Judge Richard Berman, who has pressed both parties to seek a resolution before the Patriots' season begins on Sept. 10.
Brady and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who imposed the four-game suspension, were not at the conference, the official said.
Later Thursday, the lawyers left the courthouse without commenting.
Brady was at Gillette Stadium, where the Patriots open the preseason Thursday night vs. the Packers. He is reportedly not expected to play.
