Tom Brady will play in the New England Patriots preseason game Friday night against the Carolina Panthers, according to a report by CSNNE.com.Brady is making the trip to Carolina with the team, according to ESPN and multiple reports. The Patriots will start?Jimmy Garoppolo?at quarterback but plan to also have Brady play, a source told ESPNs Mike Reiss.Garoppolo started the first two preseason games for the Pats, playing the entire first half against the Saints on Aug. 11 and through the first series of the third quarter against the Bears on Aug. 18.In all, he has played 84 snaps, and rookie Jacoby Brissett has played 54.Brady has yet to play in the preseason. Since he became the starter in the 2001 season, there has been just one preseason in which he hasnt played a game, in 2008.Brady will serve a four-game suspension to begin the regular season as the team turns to Garoppolo as its starter. This will mark the first season since 2001 that a quarterback other than Brady starts the regular-season opener for the Patriots.Earlier this week, Brady talked about why live game action in the preseason is so crucial for his development.Youre getting hit, so just the space awareness, guys around you, and ball security and things like that, he said. For the last 30 practices quarterbacks arent touched. [In a game] just standing there in the pocket, holding the ball knowing that theyre coming to get the ball and knock it out of your hands, hitting the ground, those types of things and so forth are important.You just have to feel things out and the game is really the only place to get it because its regular speed. You dont know whats coming.Asked if he truly needed game reps, Brady said, I dont think any of them hurt, so I think just do the best you can do. Were preparing a lot of guys to get ready to play. I fit into that, but so do a lot of other guys. Im just taking the advice of Coach [Bill Belichick], and whatever he wants to do, Im going to do everything I can to be ready to go when I am called upon. Thats what my responsibility is so thats what Im preparing to do.Brady also touched on another reason he wants to play; at 39 years old, hes closer to the end of his career than the start.Im getting so many opportunities left in my life, so Id like to take advantage of any opportunity, any and all of them if possible, he said. When you see your teammates out there in their uniforms and ready to go, you want to be out there with them.ESPN Patriots reporter Mike Reiss contributed to this report. Taven Bryan Jersey .

The NFL has created a position to address the lack of women in coaching and scouting roles at the team level and named former womens football pro tackle player Sam Rapoport as director of football development.Rapoports role will be to identify women who are knowledgeable about the game and train them, and to create a space for those women in the social networks that often lead to jobs in football.My role is to create programming to show them that the pipeline is open to them, Rapoport said Tuesday, and create that pipeline for females to enter into positions that were traditionally held by men.Opportunities for women and minorities have been a focus for the NFL in the past year. The leagues insularity was exposed during the crisis surrounding Ray Rices domestic violence suspension. Last winter, women in the front office planned a womens summit that was held during the Super Bowl. There, commissioner Roger Goodell announced the NFL front office was creating a Rooney Rule for women in front-office jobs, meaning that for every managerial position and higher, a woman would be interviewed before a hire is made.With 52.6 million women viewing the Super Bowl this past February, according to the NFL, the league wants to expand opportunities for women in, for example, officiating and as athletic trainers.In such a strategic hire as this, we needed to have an individual that is passionate and knowledgeable in this space, NFL EVP of football operations Troy Vincent said. Sam is an excellent fit.Currently, 30 percent of the NFLs front-office employees are women. Football operations jobs are a different story. Sarah Thomas became the first woman hired as a full-time referee last year, and Kathryn Smith is a full-time quality-control coach for the Bills.Rapoport, as a former player, is plugged into a network of women who have played the game known as professional womens football even though players generally dont get paid to play. Jen Welter, the first woman to coach in the NFL through a coaching internship with the Arizona Cardinals, had a background in womens tackle and later played and coached men. Similarly, the NFL wants to mine that talent and train wommen for possible jobs in coaching and scouting.ddddddddddddPlaying tackle football obviously is not a prerequisite to being an excellent coach, Rapoport said. Adam Gase coaches the Dolphins and never played (in college or the NFL), and there are others. Its not a prerequisite, but in order to be a good coach, you have to have a general knowledge of football and you have to be able to relay that info in a coherent way to players. And, to me, that translates to male or female. Do you know your stuff, and are you able to relay that in a coherent way?Connecting qualified women with NFL teams may be a bigger challenge. Rapoport has been calling general managers and owners to set up a committee on gender inclusion. With just two months on the job, she is in the early stages, but the goal is to create connections that can lead to jobs in a field where many hires are based on previous relationships in mens football.Thats how any job -- not just football, but any job thats a prestigious job -- is acquired, Rapoport said. Thats our biggest barrier. We didnt grow up in the male tackle football world, so we dont have a friend who is a coach, or, I played for him, so hell recommend me for a job.Thats a reason this position exists, and thats a big-time focus for me, just connecting owners and general managers to women who are very qualified and very passionate and ready to go.Rapoport played flag and touch football growing up in Canada and was a member of the Canadian national flag team. She has worked in football since 2003, first with a marketing internship with the NFL and later developing a national flag football program for girls during her six years with USA Football.In 2003, as a quarterback for the Montreal Blitz, Rapoport applied for her NFL internship by sending her résumé along with photo of herself in pads and a football. She wrote on the football with a Sharpie, What other quarterback could accurately deliver a football 386 miles?She got the internship.I was told it stood out among the other applicants, Rapoport said.
