Josh Brent is getting a second chance in the NFL, but not right away.
The NFL on Tuesday said Brent must serve a 10-game suspension and his return is conditional on staying out of legal trouble and "any prohibited alcohol-related conduct will likely result in an immediate suspension and potential banishment from the NFL."
Brent will be allowed to return to the Cowboys facility for team meetings and individual workouts starting in Week7 and can return to all team activities except traveling and playing beginning in Week 9.
If Brent cooperates with all the terms and any additional ones from the league's substance abuse program advisors, he will be considered for full reinstatement after Week 10.
Brent's agent said they would appeal the league's decision in hopes of having the length of the suspension reduced.
The Cowboys have been supportive of Brent throughout the process and Jerry Jones and several players have said they would welcome him back to the team.
