This comes just six weeks after Brady, the most successful quarterback in NFL history, announced his retirement.

He previously cited his decision to retire was fueled by his desire to spend more time with his wife, supermodel Gisele Bundchen, and his three children. It’s unclear what recently led to his change of heart.

Brady has won seven Super Bowls, three NFL MVP awards, was a first-team All-Pro three times, was selected to the Pro Bowl 15 times and has set numerous passing records in his 22-year career, according to the Associated Press.

This is a breaking story and we’ll bring more updates as they become available.
