Art Rooney II: 'Tom Brady decision in NFL commissioner's hands'

Pittsburgh Steelers co-owner Art Rooney II says that the decision on New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady's suspension appeal is in the NFL commissioner's hands.

Art Rooney II has insisted that the decision over Tom Brady's appeal against his suspension is "in the commissioner's hands".

The New England Patriots quarterback was handed a four-game suspension for his knowledge of the Super Bowl champions using deflated footballs in the NFL playoffs.

The Pittsburgh Steelers co-owner told NFL Network: "It's in the commissioner's hands. I assume [the decision will] be soon but I really don't know. This is part of Roger [Goodell]'s decision, absolutely."

Brady's appeal was heard at the NFL's New York offices last month, with a decision expected in the near future.
